I am out of Veteran Quilt inventory so until we do a Veteran Block Drive again, I need to make about 3 RWB quilts every six weeks to meet the current demand.
I decided to use some of the RWB scraps and make some string blocks. I still have about 10 string blocks left over from last year so I will only need to make about 20 blocks. I quickly whipped out the six blocks above.
I also dug through some leftover churn dash blocks from last year and made another top which I will get quilted up soon and share. One of my friends stepped up to make the third quilt I need. It will feel good to have these completed so I can go back and focus on other adult quilts.
I had forgotten how much I love to make string blocks. Hopefully I will have the rest of the blocks completed by next Sunday!

Great string blocks! I'm making some again and loving it. My favorite part is squaring them up when they're done.
You've got some beautiful star prints in your string bin! They're going to make a great quilt for a veteran. I don't know whether to be happy or sad that the need for compassion quilts is so high. You've certainly made and given away a lot since you started this charity. I'm sending you one in the mail this week - will take it to the post office tomorrow. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Do you need a red white blue top or two?
You've got some fun scarps in those blocks. Happy scrappy stitching today.
Just love string blocks and yours are so pretty, Cynthia!
I'm happy to hear that you had time to do some fun sewing. String stitching is always so relaxing; no seams to worry about. Enjoy! ;^)
Love those blocks!! I love string ones anyways and they are so cool in Patriotics!!
Can't beat strings or strip blocks!
Your string blocks are so pretty in RWB!
Those patriotic strings are so eye catching! What a great top these will make!
Cynthia your string blocks are lovely. Thank you for hosting the linky party
Wow, that is a high demand for RWB quilts. Love the veteran string blocks!
I really like your string blocks. It reminds me I should be making more string blocks... I have a huge bag of stings waiting for me to use some of them, any of them!
