Unfortunately, Life Happens and @josiessecrets had to back out of this series of swaps. Since I already had my blocks made, I'm picking up this one. If someone else wants to continue, or do the next one, that's fine. I may be able to do another later as well. Lets keep it going until she can come back. Tutorial Iris says: I have yet to see a quilt made with these blocks that did not come out. I love how the scrappy effect makes the quilt. So I am proposing a swap of 6.5" unfinished scrappy string block using the musslin method as used in the above tutorial. ATTENTION the tutorial uses a different size!! We will be trimming the blocks to 6.5" unfinished. 2 partners each 4 blocks makes for 8 blocks is total. As this is senders choice one can start sewing straight away. Strips are a max. width of 2" (preferably variation of widths) Fabric used once per block (see profile pic)." I LOVE these string blocks, and find that if I start with a 15" foundation, make the larger size block and trim the finished block to 13", it makes four distinct 6.5" blocks--easy peasy, as long as you have the long strings for the centers! Two large blocks can be done in no time! the "musselin" can be a square of white or ecru cotton if you don't have muslin. |
