| Strings+Crumbs = Interesting Square in a Square |
Last week at ARETOY Quilt Shop, Rosemary helped me find the perfect fabric that looked great with my crumb squares. Friends are wonderful! I wondered how many yards to get; how much would I need? Hard question to answer when many design decisions were yet to be made. Answer? Buy the whole bolt! lol
Isn't it wonderful how strings go so well together? No rhyme or reason... just stitch them on and they play nice! Love it. They look so straggly, then trimmed up they look good... put in a quilt block and they look grand! Guess I'm just a stringer at heart.

Love your strings. I can't part with scraps either!
I dont know why I haven't made one of these yet! You've made it look doable!
I really like these blocks. They are sooo pretty and really look great together. I have been making string blocks in between other things. I like how yours are going together so I might just add some crumb blocks in with my strings. I really hate throwing away any piece of fabric, especially one that I love so this would be a wonderful way to use them. Thank you for sharing yours.
You know I'm hooked on strings to Cyn....just finishing some rug mugs with my leftover batiks. Thanks for sharing.

I love your idea of joining strings to crumb blocks. I am also a stringer but don't do crumbs(yet)! I find strings so fascinating and I am nearing the moment of needing a string fix. Love to see the finished crumb/string project.
