Strings Attached

During the month of March, each Tuesday, our string quilts lady Angela is instructing some of the members on making their own string quilts.

We all have lots of scraps and these can be cut into strips from about 1 1/4 “ and 2 1/2 “ wide to make up these fabulous and colourful string quilts. Angela has put together some interesting patterns for the ladies to follow.
