String Along Month Three

Time for our String Along Link up! I always look forward to seeing what other quilters have been up to. I am linking up with Lori of Humble Quilts who is hosting the String Along, and all the other Stringers HERE .

 I am including my Pineapple Crazy blocks in my string sewing. These little guys take some time, but  I enjoy making them! I finished 12 of these 5 1/2" (unfinished) blocks  this month. That gives me a total of 36 blocks. I think I may start sewing them together so I don't have to sew all 224 blocks  at the same time.
 






I completed 8 String Basket blocks and 10 more string blocks.







All my String Basket blocks, I know it doesn't look like much, bot I did concentrate more on the Pineapple Crazy blocks this month.



I am thinking of settings for the Basket blocks. This is the original Gwen Marston/ Freddy Moran quilt I got my idea from. Their blocks finish at 14" and mine will finish at 7 1/2".




I am playing around with some ideas for settings.
















We had a couple of visitors the other day.







Happy Quilting!

    You've made great progress on all your string block projects! I love the bright cheery colors of those baskets, especially with the string blocks radiating outward from the baskets in that vertically oriented photo. So nice to see the moose in your yard too!

    Love your string baskets and the options for setting that you shared. Moose - definitely don't see those in Western Tennessee.

    You're working on so many great string quilts. Those pineapple blocks are fabulous and I can see that each one would take a lot of sewing time. Love your string baskets too. They're really fun. Enjoyed seeing your visitors.

    Your string baskets are too fun! I love the red backgrounds. Are you participating in the AHIQ challenge, "Red is a Neutral?"
