I have a bin full of random strips and began my journey yesterday. I am looking forward to seeing how these all turn out and am hoping to get some good ideas for these blocks!

Thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks for the push I needed to get started on a large box of strings. Ready, set, go!

Excited to start this! I’ve always wanted to make a string quilt but it kept getting pushed back. Now’s the time!

Ok, ready to start using those strings and scraps. I have decided on a pattern. I need 192 7 1/2” blocks. My next job is to find phone books or a sketch pad large enough! Oh, what fun!

I make baby quilts out of 6" crazy string blocks alternating with a "solid" block of a children's fabric. My family loves these because they feel they are meant to be used instead of stored and displayed. If you use a serger, you won't need the backing muslin.

Just started a sting quilt for Valentine’s Day, I’ll post when I am finished. Only made one block, an not liking it but the mess is already pulled and in a bin so it is a project.

I've got my plan in place with the exception of size. I believe I'll start with a 42" x 42" wall hanging. Depending on the depletion of scraps, I may just increase it to 56" x 70". Dream big, right???? Hahaha!

I want to start this as soon as the Christmas decorations are down!

My favorite rule is ‘there are no rules’. Hoping to sew along...looking forward to seeing what everyone makes!

I'm stringing along. I love this no-rules opportunity to create!

Are there instructions for a new quilter?

I've been "stringing" for years but never grow tired of it. Looking forward to participating in this one and seeing what others come up with!

Starting tonight with friends!! Thanx for the inspiration!!.

I have over hundred mens ties I will be using..wanted to do this for such a long time. Bought foundation material and stabilizer,mine will take more prep time but I have a plan and a pic to follow. But 1st I have 6 more blocks to finish from BH1 and I promised myself to complete the blocks before starting this one. YEAH!! thanks for doing this!!!!

Loving Anna's design and those Colors in the box are singing to me! Rethinking my stitching plan ...my goodness, it's great to play on this snowy stormy day :)

Okey dokey! I am on it, got to get rid of stringgs!

I'm going to be using selvedge as strings----I've been saving for years.

Love Anna's blocks because (you already guessed it) she uses B&C fabrics!

Is there an end date?

I’m starting this evening I’ll be sewing on old 3” adding machine paper tape !!

I have been stringing for years, just hot pads and small items. However, I have a string quilt in the works. Can't wait to see it finished! My grandmother quilted, making utility string quilts for most of her life. She used scraps, and used clothing she was given, or collected. I always loved the love and warmth from those quilts, and how they looked! Stringing is so relaxing, fun, and easy! "Waste not, want not!" Stringing is a very green activity. Repurposing fabric that could have become trash is good for us, our quilt recipients, and the world! : ) Brenda King, Bend, Oregon

I am glad "there are no rules" because I have been trying some crazy/fun things with mine. They will show up on my blog later. I have already posted a few "early" ones. Didn't someone say "Because pictures" ???

Looking forward to seeing the different blocks for inspiration.

I know there’s no rules, but what tips do you have for a scrappy string quilt to look cohesive? I don’t usually have fabric collections and I don’t seem to buy fabrics all in the same brilliance.

Spent the day sewing strips onto a batting in quilt-as-you-go style.
It's very scrappy and I'm not sure if I'm loving it, but the scraps are getting into a quilt!
