String Quilt Underway

I have now gone through my boxes of scraps and decided to make a string quilt. I have lots of strips of fabric that are between 1" and 2 1/2" in width. I have sorted them into 8 different color families and think I have more than enough to make a quilt that is 48" x 64" in size. I will be using an 8 1/2" block to make the quilt. The reason I picked that size is I can recycle old printer paper for the foundation and only have to cut one edge. I love it when I can reuse something I already have. I am also going to use up several spools of thread I already have and match the colors to the strips. Should be fun.
