Monday is for HeartStrings
We’re in the middle of a 6 month project at HeartStrings and have virtual sew alongs each Monday. Since I’ve finished the other two tops I’ve started since we began in February, I got to start a new set of blocks today.
Inspired by an antique quilt, my blocks are big but after making a smaller block to test my measurements, most of my leftover strips and strings were too wide so I enlarged the block rather than trying to trim down a lot of strips.

Looks good. Great idea to make your materials work for you.
I love those blocks. Looks like I have enough strings to make a string quilt a week for the rest of the year. Really, I’m not kidding.
Love this one, Mary. it is on my to do list, but I thought I would have to pick one color for the centers. I like how you have mixed them. You are always so creative.
That is a great idea! How big did you make the blocks?
Great block Mary! Almost like a spiderweb quilt Imade for my sister. She loved it and your niece will too,
Almost like making a spider web quilt (I just started one). I like how the secondary pattern of diamonds appear. Neat idea. How antique was the quilt that inspired you?
I really like this block too Mary! I agree with Becky, I like how you used different colors for the stars. It will make a beautiful quilt when it’s done.
this looks like a fun one.
Is this a new design that you’ve worked out? It sure makes a great looking block. Are there instructions somewhere? I like that the ‘stars’ are different colors, too. A new way to deal with strings…
I love your new string block design and it should go together quick. What size are your blocks?
I, too, like the secondary design this block makes. Nice block and great in the scrappy colors!
