The String Quilt

Bonnie Hunter uses old phone books for her papal piecing. Inexpensive and easy to remove . Just cut to sizeandaway you go.

I can say I am agreeing with you, Shermur, from what I've been spying the last hour or so. I started a thread inquiring whether folk preferred paper or muslin for the piecing. Excited to see what gives re. that. Now that I think of it perhaps paper lends itself to quilting when done whereas I read using muslin makes it a little more difficult to quilt. I just can't get with all that ripping. But, it may be one of those things where once you do it you find it's no big deal. The thought of ripping out the paper may be worse than the reality, giggles.

Lyric - I should have mentioned, I did use the 10' paper piecing paper from MSQC. There is quite of lot of them in a package. I have wanted to try the muslin technique, but I agree that it would make the sandwich process thicker! And yes, there is a lot of inspiration on Pinterest when it comes to string quilts!

One of my favorite quilts is a string quilt, it has scraps from nearly every quilting project i had made up to that time. Full of memories. Didnt sash it, but used a border fabric to tie it all together.
