This is the art I worked on this week.
I’m calling it “Stack of String Blocks”.
It is 12 layers of 12 string blocks each. That’s 144 blocks, with a total of 1,584 strings.
These blocks will soon become the commissioned quilt that I’ve been working on.
But first, I’ve got a pouch to make. My guild is having a zippered pouch swap that ends tomorrow. All I have to do is make the pouch!
I hope your weekend is going well. Happy sewing!

Oh Nicole; this string quilt is going to be beautiful!! I have to do one of these when I get time…maybe this winter????? I love the colors.
Holy cow that's a lot of strings! It'll look amazing though :o)
Nice! Do you use a foundation (paper?) for these?
This is going to be gorgeous. I can't wait to see it!
Oh that is a lot of quilty maths! And pretty impressive facts. I can see someone else has asked if you foundation pieced them, I was imagining (in horror) peeling all that paper off if you have!
You're amazing, Nicole!!
Oh my goodness that's an awful lot of sewing!! It's going to look fabulous when it's done. I can't wait to see it. 🙂
You have an awful lot of patience with all those strings Nicole! It will look amazing though 🙂
Wow that's a lot of strings! This quilt is going to be spectacular. Are you going to arrange the in diamonds? Or diagonal stripes, or zig zags? Oh the possibilities!
Have you ever used old telephone directories for the foundation paper? Pretty much all the same sized pages when ripped out. Definitely cheaper than buying stuff but I recently used some purchased vellum-like paper. It DID tear away easily.
awesome! I'm sure it feels good to have the strings done!
Nicole you do amazing things with fabric – you truly are an inspiration! (I love your blog, by the way!)
