Making all of these donation quilts, I end up with a lot of scraps. I try to use them up as often as I can. For the RWB block drive, I like to turn those scraps into string blocks.
I made these six 10.5" squares this week.
I have also received a few blocks in the mail. I love how the blocks look so different and represent each person's scraps. Once I get more completed, I will see what designs I can create with the blocks I have. If need be, I will just make more blocks and adjust the colors I use in my blocks....
I certainly have enough scraps!

I like the interest the blocks with the bright blue adds to the RWB string blocks. The patterns one can make with string blocks are endless. Each combination is lovely. I like where you are going with these strings!
Red white and blue strings are a great use of scraps! Should make a nice summer quilt.
Love your red string blocks, are you using paper or a muslin to sew them to?
I love string blocks! Something about them is just so appealing. What kind of foundation do you sew yours onto? It will be fun to see how you use these. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
I've never seen such a striking R,W, & B quilt, good job you!

You are using really narrower string. I think they look great with all the colors. Keep plugging away. Maybe you'll run through all the reds and blues. (We are always making white so I doubt the white will run out!)
Very fun, scrappy string blocks. Those teal strips really lighten up the red, white and blue, it's a fun addition to the base colors for something different.
Beautiful patriotic looking strings, Cynthia!
All the strings work well together, don't they?!!
