Strip piecing for a cause

I love string quilts. They're true scrap quilts,

using up bits and pieces

and somehow looking great in the end.

And string quilts motivated me to start this blog

and inspired the name as well.

I've  been making 6 by 12 inch string blocks recently,

because it's easy to cut around the ruler.

I even use the off cuts to make more blocks.

I'm using up a variety of fabrics,

and even some extra wide selvages.

So far I have 20 blocks on the wall. I'm hoping to make enough

and gather some more from my local quilting friends

to make two single quilts for a local cause.

I'm linking up to Judy's Design Wall Mondays.
