48 x 56
It needs to go into the washing machine and dryer and then into the donation quilt box.
I made 48 string blocks from scraps last year and part of this year as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I normally use muslin as the foundation for my string blocks but this time I used paper and made 8 inch blocks.
Twenty-four blocks was enough for two child-size donation quilts.
(Yes, every once in a while I forget which way I'm spiraling in case you noticed).
I quilted it with some spirals on my plain Jane Janome. Binding was attached by machine - not my favorite look or binding method but it is recommended for some children's quilts especially if they are going to foreign countries.
This was my goal #9 for Q3 Finish Along with Adrianne of On the Windy Side.
At the end of the month I will link up to Julie's Binding Blitz.
In the meantime I'm linking up to:

So fun looking at all the different prints in this - almost like an ispy! Your swirls look great -- in both directions!
The border and binding are the perfect cheery note to end your happy opus!
I'm sure it will bring a smile to everyone who sees it. (It worked on me...)
You have to love a good scrappy quilt and these are perfect for kids :-)
Every kid would love this quilt. It is so colorfull!!
Very rich and bright! What a great finish!
Now that is some color! I started a few string blocks last night. I need to keep making a few each week so I can get my scrap box top closed again. Too many ideas and not enough time!
Awesome colourplay.
The name was so funny for this I had to come over from the email. Sorry about not commenting more but I just read your posts on email. I enjoy a string quilt so much, and this one is so cheerful and fun. You get so much done. LeeAnna at not afraid of color
congratulations on your finish! I like how the prints are all crazy close up, yet from a distance all I see is the diagonal movement and the rainbow of colours. Great idea for a scrap challenge--wouldn't it be fun at a retreat for everyone to throw a rainbow of strips into a pile and then sew them into fun blocks like this?
A very successful quilt. The fabrics, construction, quilting and name are all fabulous.
And lovely music it's making, too! Congratulations on the finish.
It's beautiful, I love the saturated colours! I'm visiting as a member of the official 2015 Finish-Along cheerleading squad.
