While cleaning out my sewing room I found several bins with strips. I intended to only have two, one for brights and one for cozy colors. Since I had more than would fit in the two bins I went on a hunt for quilts to use a few of these up. Let me share the ideas I found for scrappy strips and strings.
I’ve made many string quilts. They are fun, easy and scrap friendly. I found several ideas and tutorials on my search so I thought I would share today.
My method for making this string friendly quilt is here.
Ann at Fret Not Yourself and Kaja of Sew Slowly have been having a coin quilt challenge. Make sure to visit there are lots of inspiring quilts and ideas to use up your strips.
I made this quilt for Moda Bake shop.
And Tia Curtis has this video with three variations.
And finally this braid quilt. You can find a tutorial here.
