I have never before had to say, “I think I accidentally made a quilt top today.” A minor leg injury led to me wanting to stay home and stay off my leg, so what do I do? Pull out my giant bag of scrap fabric strips from equilter.

I’ve been fascinated by string quilts for a while, but lots of them look alike. I wanted to do something a little bit different. It occurred to me that the piles of fabric strips were the equivalent of crayons in a box … and off I went.

Current plan is to sash these blocks generously, and probably in white.
