String Stars
12 inch finished blocks
"Strings and Things" has been the theme in my sewing space this month to move UFOs and scraps forward. I started making these String Stars last year to use the shortest and skinniest of strings left after using longer and wider strings in other quilts. Now that I have finished these 5 Stars I have my goal of 12 and need to go make some wild and crazy sashing to go with them.
And sew on...

What a beauty this will be! I can see crumb pieced sashing strips full of happy colors like your strings. Oh, yes!
Lovely on that dark blue background...nice work hugs, Julierose
What a joyous way to use up skinny strips. The deep blue background really lets the stars shine.
Very pretty, and I love the background colour.
This is a fun way to use scraps, it's going to be a beautiful quilt!
The stars are grand. (And I see a couple of prints that I sent you.) BTW, if you think you have a ton of scraps-in-big-bags, check Bonnie Hunter's post today.
Sparkling stars Cathy - the suggestion from Julie would work beautifully.
Loving these string stars. How big are the blocks? Look forward to seeing your wild & crazy sashing.
I have been thinking of making a string star quilt and now seeing yours I just may pull the trigger on that project. Your blocks are gorgeous!
Love the blocks and now you have me excited to see your wild and crazy sashing!
