This is part of some art at the art museum in Detroit. Must be some guitar string kind of wires wrapped around several framing objects.

I'm afraid I am sick of making these blocks, and I have 35 more 12" blocks to go. Ugh.
This was based on this quilt. www.filminthefridge.com/2009/04/24/a-colorful-string-quilt/

I've recently added some incredible new fabrics to my stash. Comparing my new lovely fabric to what was currently in my stash (and scraps), I realized that I wanted to do some *purging* of sorts; getting rid of existing fabrics that didn't wow me and that weren't the softest.
Since I couldn't just throw the fabric away, I decided to make a string quilt [ala filminthefridge's colorful *Kaleidoscope* string quilt (she even created a tutorial here) – thank you!]. My plan is to use every last bit of this non-wow fabric to complete this string quilt.
My colors are different than FITF's, but I still like it. She used white in the center of her blocks but I used brown (what I had on hand) and then I'm also creating little brown squares in the center of my brown *blocks* to help pull the top together. It's a lot of color and I am liking it a lot more than I thought I would. The fabrics I am using are less than interesting. Each block by itself is rather ugly, but together, as a whole, they are interesting.
I was able to (paper) piece about 3/4 of the blocks for the top of the quilt today. Once I finish piecing the rest, then I'll have the tedious task of pulling all of that paper off the back. I just hope I don't pull out any stitches!

I have been going through one of those everything going wrong in the high speed photo area.
A complete rebuild of the flash head, down to the wires. The ozone and UV from these things is epic and destroys all forms of insulation like a blast from a supernova, although with less planetary consequences. :-)
The projectile sensor on the Axe is doing funny stuff, so I went back to the old school setup. The devil that I know.....
Cheers.

I'm working on a string quilt for a friend who is having a baby soon. Samantha's quilt inspired me to rummage through my scrap bin.
I took part in "It's a String Thing" from the website tickledtotangle.blogspot.com
The tangles are Heartstrings, Luv-a, and Heartvines.
I called this Woven, using Cadent, Huggins, W2 and Up and Across. I also only used part of the string to make bigger areas in which to tangle.
There are a couple new fabrics I am loving. The strawberries and the small hearts that are new from Clothworks. I think the line is called Cherie. It looks like it's watercolored on the fabric.
When I was very little I was given a guitar that had been in the family for a while- it's an old Martin nylon string guitar, approx 3/4 size (about the size of a baby Taylor)- and was perfect for learning on at the time. It has to be at least 50 years old at this point, probably more. Still sounds great, tho it's obviously looking its age.
