I am still trying to make a few RWB string blocks every now and then to burn through some of the scraps we acquire.
I did finish up 7 more 10.5" blocks late this week. I think I have enough now to make a quilt (thanks to some donors).
Did you know you can make 10.5" RWB string blocks anytime and send them to us?
I have chosen to make 10.5" string blocks to burn through all the RWB scraps we end up with making Many Hands and Many Hearts Veteran quilts. This means I don't have to think about a pattern or do much cutting when the scraps pile up.
I still have a lot more scraps but I tucked them back away for some future scrap play.

I love the lighter blue that you've used in these blocks! I hadn't thought to make string blocks to send you, but I definitely could. Do you sew yours on a fabric foundation? Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
It always amazes me how such simple scrappy blocks can make such cool quilts. Happy stitching this week.
I LOVE string blocks - so very pretty!!!
Those patriotic string blocks look great. Working with strings takes times; but, the results are stunning!
I'm going to make more RW& B blocks for you. Did I already send you some? I can't even remember.
One more question. What do you use for your foundation on those string blocks? I think I used newspaper last time and took it off before sending them. I often use old bed sheets but that makes the quilt extra heavy. Do you have a preference?
