These are the string blocks I made the other day. They are full 6.5 inch blocks here.
This is the same block cut into two parts. Then sewed to the solid HST. It makes a totally different looking block. The sky is the limit on this. Chris
Chris, I had someone give me a large stack of strip set blocks that I paired with white squares and did this very same thing. I came up with some really interesting blocks and have used them in a quilt that turned out really nice. I have also decided that 2016 will my year of scraps... I've started using my 'odd strips' and doing a 'sort of' "Hidden Wells" block...
