I have one row of String Stars completed.
There's no place to lay out the entire long row so I had to take pics in sections.
A few weeks ago those pale, neglected strings were stuck in this bag. Most are pieces cut from the sides of quilt backings so were rather long and I didn't have much variety but I'm making do and will see what happens.
And a few weeks ago I was going to use a darker pink for a background but at the last minute I changed my mind.
But I'm still moving forward.
This is going to be very different from the bright strings on dark background that is on my bed now. I didn't think I would like these pale strings but they are growing on me. At least they aren't entangling me or strangling me.

I love that you just make all these beautiful quilts--you are a quilt-making machine--and they are all so lovely--all full of scrappiness...I have to get myself into my Big girl pants now that I can actually see after my double cataract surgery!! Hugs, Julierose
You do the most amazing things with scraps. I wasn't sure about those pale strings either, but you've convinced me. This is going to be beautiful. Just a little quieter than its bright sibling...
Great work! Thanks for sharing.
Now that's different, great job!
I like the lighter pink background you used :) It's happy :)
It's good to stretch outside our comfort zone, isn't it? Pastels typically don't call me, but these stars are so pretty! There's a good reason why pink and blue are used together so often: it just works.
I rather like the pastels; makes me think Spring will return someday! Sorry I had to delete the comment above; I didn't proofread and spelled a word wrong. ---"Love"
Such pretty string blocks and they all match! I love the background you did pick it is the perfect contrast and small print.
I think the background you have chosen really helps make the most of the pastel strings. I also like how you are varying what happens in the centre of each star - it's looking good.
Great use of those strings. They have found a good home.
I agree the light pink background works better. Those pale stars look good, too. Keep it up.
oh my stars!!! that is amazingly gorgeous !!
They look gorgeous! I am glad that the strings are not strangling you....that would be worrying! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday!
