This week I’ve been sewing Patriotic fabric string blocks. I couldn’t decide whether I liked the Bright Red centres or the Dark Red centres better, so I’m making both. The blocks look a bit wonky right now because they haven’t been trimmed down to their proper size of 9.5 inches yet.
Bright Red:
Dark Red:
My red-white-and-blue string bin is overflowing with scraps left over from the pillowcases and my first Patriotic string quilt, so I’m sure I have plenty of fabric for two quilts! Or more. 😉 I keep thinking this fabric is nearly used up, but it just seems to multiply overnight. I guess it’s deceptive how much yardage is really there when it’s cut into narrow strips.
These are HeartStrings quilts, and when completed, they will go to Alycia in Colorado for the No Soldier Forgotten Quilts of Valor project.

Happy Quilting!
