I think I just need three more and then I will start sewing the blocks together.
Here is the link for the tutorial at the Craftsy website. It will be listed under the March BOM. The tutorial is made with 6 1/2" blocks but I made mine 8". I did use white muslin for the foundation. I love how it looks with the white strip in the center. I plan to put a small white border around the whole quilt.This has been so much fun, digging through my scrap fabric, finding material that was used on other projects :-) Sweet happy memories.

Your colors are gorgeous and what a great use of scraps. Cant wait to see the finished quilt!
Beautiful blocks... string quilts are addictive, aren't they?
I love string quilts. Yours is beautiful in those colors.
A couple of years ago we had a block swap for a string quilt. On the white string we wrote our names and countries. It ended up being a beautiful and colorful quilt, interesting to look at because of the variety in fabrics.
Your string quilt is very pretty.
this is looking really nice, I want to do a string quilt too one day, I like how your first strip is white and the rest are pink... how big are the blocks and did you have paper behind it?
Very pretty! I love string quilts!
I want it! I need it LOL! Oh, gosh, now I'm so inspired :)

This looks amazing! I absolutely love the Colors :)
I love the touch of green in with the pink. Very pretty.
Your handiwork is stunning! Such talent! Happy Easter!
I love string quilts and this one is one of the prettiest! I love the pink. I don't think I have enough of one color to do this, but I sure would like to.
Your quilt is looking wonderful!
I really like how the string quilts look when there is a "color theme". I think the white muslin looks really pretty in the center too! When I have made these kinds of blocks, I put an extra strip of the solid back fabric...right under the middle and when the two first strips are sewn it is held in place. This gives the center a bit more strength...as the strip parts are a wee bit heavier. =)

Very pretty Jocelyn!
WooHop!!!!(as my Iphone writes it) lol
Very very nice. I've never made a string quilt before, and have actually also been following along with the Craftsy BOM and really want to try one. I also liked the broken spider web block.
I have been coming here from Crazy Mom Quilts for a few weeks and decided I need to follow your blog. I really enjoy your work and have been reading past entries. The pink strings are really very pretty.
Like! Like a lot.
Your pink strings is so gorgeous. This is quite a compliment coming from me because I don't favor pink.
