May was my month in the Joy Do Good Stitches charity bee, and I asked everyone in my bee to dig out their girly string scraps and make some simple 12.5" string blocks. This past weekend I received the last of the blocks, and pressed them and laid them out so I could admire all these beautiful prints together.
Then, using the instructions I gave for my Boxed Strings quilt block, I whacked them all in half and reassembled them. I think this makes such a fun scrappy quilt, and am looking forward to getting it all sewn up. It will be donated to Victoria's Quilts, a charity dedicated to providing quilts to cancer patients.
Linking up to {Sew} Modern Monday and Fabric Tuesday.
