After spending some time quilting (no problem with the Juki this time) my string quilt with the polka dot border
my neck felt a bit stiff, so I decided to work on something else for a while. Well when you have at least 14 PIPs sitting around begging to be finished what do you do?
Get out your scraps and start something new of course! I started some new string blocks. They are 6 x 8 1/2. I wanted to see what would happen if I stretched the blocks out a bit.
With these blocks I’m using my favorite, black and white for the center strip. I haven’t figured out where this is going yet, these blocks may even get cut in half! Don’t know, we’ll see.
There are still a few days left for the giveaway.

I like the idea of a 'stretched' string block. That just might make my day.
I love strip block quilts. You have some very colorful scraps! and lots of them! You go girl!!
I made quilt with stretched out string blocks, one of my favorites. I'm having trouble forcing myself into the sewing room this week. I think I'm burned out. I know it will pass, but for now, all I want to do is eat and sleep. Maybe some string blocks would bring me out of my funk... Yours are lovely.
Beautiful colors! I love making scrappy quilts.
