5' X 5' quilt from Plaids

 This is a string quilt made from some of my plaid fabrics.  A string quilt is strips of fabric sewn to a foundation of paper or fabric.  If you use paper, you use light weight paper like from an old phone book, and it's just to give you a form for the square or rectangular block.  When the pieces are sewn  you square up the block,  then tear away the paper.  On this one, I used light weight muslin and it was left on the quilt.  It made the quilt heavy, so I didn't quilt it with batting,  I used plaid fabric squares for the back.  I kinda like the plaids used this way.
