    Default Re: String Quilting: Paper or Muslin?

    Just a thought here, I haven't used paper for string quilting but I have done the squares where you layer your backing, batting, and then sew through everything as you add strips. I have a few rows of blocks like this but haven't sewn all together, using men's shirts. Takes several steps out of the job of quilting. The only hangup is sewing the blocks together. They go together easily but you have to deal with the raw edges, either by adding a strip of fabric and sewing it in with the seam and then turning under to form a binding of sorts or something else to cover them. Fast way to put quilt together though.
