Just complete another String Quilt for the upcoming class on Sunday. This one is from a jelly roll so the strips are more uniform than the first one. (See it here.)

I love the scrappy look of these diagonal squares but you could purchase matching fabric to make a more “uniform” design.

Can’t wait to see it!!!!
