I recently hosted a string block swap with the quilters on
the HGTV message board. Each participant got to choose the color of their center string, and what
color/colors they wanted the other strings in the blocks.
This is such a fun swap! I just love seeing all the colors everyone chooses~
Aren't they fun?!!
Two of the swappers chose 'polka dots' for their 'colors'. :-)
And they got lots of dots!
I went for a pieced center string and brights for the other string~
I love my blocks!!
This isn't the final layout~ I have to play with them and make a few more. :-)
This is going to be the perfect snuggle quilt for those dreary winter days. LOL
Don't forget to hop over to kati cupcake and leave a comment for a chance to win a FQ bundle or one of her new patterns!
Tell her I sent you, and if you win because of me~ I'll send you a little surprise too! :-)
Until next time~
Happy Quilting!!

I love your string blocks set with the b/w center strip - what a pop that is!
Love, love, love your pieced center strings. Very clever! I'm working on a set of string blocks with red centers.
The black and white ones blocks look good. I'm thinking my next set will be black and white with pink centers. Or maybe purple centers.
Those strings blocks are so bright and cheery! Love them. I have been wanting to make some but can't seem to find the time to cut my scraps up. One of these days ;-D
Well of course polka dots are a color! :o) I love the black and white center strip. Really graphic and super fun.
that looks like fun and I love your pieced center string-cool look!
