Today is my birthday and it’s the last Saturday of January. For my last red scrappy Saturday I made a few string blocks. I’ve said before that string blocks are a favorite of mine so I knew I’d make another rainbow string quilt this year.
I used 9” x 9” news print paper as my foundation. Lucky me I have a stack of them leftover from the last string blocks I made. I decided to use my lighter red prints for the center strips and I will do the same with future colors.
Also this week I worked on some scrappy string blocks which may or may not become string X blocks. Really I do need another scrap project.🤣
And after a not so good start with the top thread on my machine and a bit of frogging, I made another coiled rope bowl this week.

Loving those scrappy string blocks--they are some of my favorite type of sewing. Hugs from our Snowy world today Julierose
Beautiful blocks and the bowl is amazing. Have a wonderful day. Stay safe and warm.
Happy Birthday Char!!
Happy scrappy birthday!!! I can't think of a better way of spending it than in the sewing room. Enjoy!
Happy Birthday! I love your red string blocks, and I’m a string block aficionado too. And your bowl - just WOW!!
First of all, happy birthday to you! Love having a birthday, don't you? For the attention, and for celebrating another year on this earth. Yay you! Second, I'm a pushover for a strippy-pieced string block. I've made dozens of them in my lifetime, and never get tired of them. If you ever run out of the paper you're using as foundation, you can always use telephone book pages! I keep a couple of very old phone books for exactly that reason. Phone book paper is the perfect weight. Enjoy your scrap-piecing, and enjoy your special day!
