I was looking for a quick and easy quilt block to put together to practice some free-motion quilting on and actual quilt. Like many of you, I’m sure, I have some precuts hanging around in my sewing space. I picked up a “sushi roll” (aka jellyroll) and and “origami square” pack (aka layer cake) of some sweet Flower Sugar from Lecien. I quickly decided on a simple string quilt and made a short video tutorial on how to make a foundation pieced string block. So simple and fun!
I think a quilt made with this simple and fun block will be busy enough to take the pressure off “perfect” quilting–which sounds pretty good to me! I’ll keep you updated on its progress. I’ve already sewed up most of the blocks in just three evenings. Plus, my new Juki is so fast, that I feel like such a boss stitching these up.
