The first little quilt I made is from a block of blue and green strings. I cut 4 triangles and matched them with black fabric. I'm quite happy with this little mug rug.
Then I made a little needle case. So fun and easy. Just use your strings and make yourself one in an afternoon.
I made some string blocks for a quilt, but I was not able to finish this one. But I can show you the finished one. I used squares cut from old curtains, and put strings on one side. I love using recycled materials, and will finish this later.
Thank you for visiting my blog. And thank you Carla for hosting this fun blog hop.
Be sure to visit my fellow participants and get some really nice ideas for string quilts.

SvarSlettWow! Turid! Lovely projects!
SvarSlettI especially love the little needlecase!
My handicraft group have just had an exhibition last week and we now have some new members. I’m thinking your needlecase would be an ideal first project for them.
Thank you for sharing your idea with us.
Hugs,
