String quilt blocks are a great way to use up spare strips and offcuts from backings.
These 16 blocks are quilt as you go method. The wadding also scrap is pinned onto the back and strips stitched through all layers and squared off. These blocks are for a charity lap quilt when finished.
The off cuts from the string blocks are the lead into the real story.
Grand daughter Awen asked for the scraps and some thread.Never let a chance go by.
At age 7 her creative spirt is not detered by any so called rules.
A good thing too
Because Awen and I were able to share a rare and wonderful experience.
