I am still making string blocks. As part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge over at So Scrappy blog, Angela designates a color of scraps that we are to use each month to help us use up our stash. The February scrap color is red, and since it is Valentine month I made this Heart Strings quilt.
And, since today is One Flower Wednesday over at Journey of a Quilter, I made a mug rug that has a hexagon flower on one half and a string block on the other half.
I am just loving these string blocks. I sew them on pages from a Scribble Pad that I buy at the dollar store. There are 60 sheets for $1, and the paper is like a porous recycled paper. So when I sew on it the paper perforates so there really isn't any tearing to get it off. It just lifts off. And, I sew string blocks chain piecing style so they sew up quickly. String block quilts are showing up all over blog land, and I am truly addicted to them.
