Playing with skinny strings

I've been playing with skinny strings, sewing them on 6 inch muslin squares

that I found during a recent clean-up of my sewing space.

I dug through my overflowing scrap bin to find the strings

as well as cutting some down to 1.25 or 1.5 inches.

I like the look of the blocks,

but maybe it's time to use them differently than just set in the diamond formation.

So I made one of them into flying geese

which finish at 4 by 8 inches.

Stay tuned for more.

Meanwhile, here's the other AAQI quilt

I made from handdyed strings I pulled from my mother's garbage.

This one evoked a feeling of a landscape,

so I added a flower left from another project.
