5' X 5' string quilt from plaids


This is a string quilt made from some of my plaids.  A string quilt is strips of fabric sewn to a foundation of paper or fabric.  If  you use paper, you use light weight paper like from an old phone book and it's just to give you a form for the square or rectangle block.  When the pieces are sewn, you square up the block then tear away the paper.  On this one I used light weight muslin and it was left on the quilt.  It made it heavy so I didn't quilt it with batting.  I used plaid fabric squares for the back.  Kinda like using plaids this way.
