The start of my next 2020 UFO, Starburst Strings by Myra Mahy of Country Faces. The project as designed finishes 40" x 48", but I might just make mine a bit smaller.
I was totally excited to find red string blocks in my drawer of leftover blocks that can be trimmed down to fit. I will need to make the white/red string blocks and this is just a sampling of the fabrics that will be used. I can't tell you how long those white/red fabrics have been a part of my stash!
I pulled out a bunch of red 1 1/2" strips in various lengths to get variety in the center of each block. This project will go faster than trying to figure out a "K" name =^.^=
Since I was working with reds...that camouflage kitty needed to be fixed and I was determined to use the black and white cat. Much better! Now to use the Micky Mouse background... This project is going to be quick to put together too once I find the right gray for the sashing.
Last I pulled out Fall colors for making the Sunshine October block. The blacks will be used for the backgrounds. More on this later in the week. For now enjoy November!

I love string quilts. Amazing how strips can make lovely blocks. Look forward to seeing the finished project
Love the cat block.
That was a fun find to already have string blocks you could use. I love the look of strings, but would rather not make them. :)
When I look at the blocks I think of Kollisions or Krosswalks.
I like that kitty
Oh! Those starbust string blocks sure are cool! And the kitty cat!!! Love it so very much. :)
