String quilts are scrap quilts with a signature style. They are made from many strips (strings) of fabric sewn together to form blocks. These blocks can be set into designs ranging from traditional to modern. The project offered here is a nice combination of both styles. This is a guided improv pattern. Exact measurements will be given for each unit needed to construct the quilt, however the string piecing itself will be improvisational. 6 Month Program. Kit from Fat Eighths.
