String Blocks for Terri

You know, normally this would not be a color palate that I am drawn to. And yet, they are SO SO lovely together. This is going to be a gorgeous fall quilt! Can't wait to see it.

  1. Oh thank you for making these! They look lovely. I love that you put the solid fabric down the center of each. I think they are going to fit in great with the rest of the various blocks I've been collecting!

  3. Paul, thanks for the interest! I don't have a pattern for this project, but I started with 6.5 inch squares of paper, and did a foundation paper-piecing method, working from the center out to each corner. I recommended these tutorials for reference:
