I often make string blocks when I am between projects or if I just want to sew something but I am not interested in focusing. \u00a0Sometimes you just need to mindlessly sew to wind down after a stressful day at work.<\/p>\n

I am always on the lookout for ways to use the string blocks once they are made. \u00a0This was a quilt that appeared in the July\/August 2013 issue of Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting. \u00a0The quilt is called Rock Island Campfires and was made by Marianne Fons.

I found the perfect fabric for sashing my blocks – a tiny black and white houndstooth – First Crush by Sweetwater for Moda.<\/p>\n
