I did piece a few more Rainbow Scrap Challenge green string blocks. Gertie, my inner squirrel, agreed that the horizontal orientation of the block was more interesting. Maybe next month, I'll get an idea of the layout in this orientation.
As we were discussing the pros to that orientation, she pointed out that I had mis-stitched the constant strip on one of the rectangles. I thanked Gertie for pointing out the error and said I would leave it. She replied that she doubted I could do it. Sigh. . .she was correct. I ended up piecing another green rectangle with the constant fabric in the correct spot!

I thought the blue blocks were dynamic. When I stepped back from the design wall, I thought, WOW! These blocks are just as awesome as the blue blocks were! What do you think?

The best part of finishing the green diamonds was the amount of strings that were remaining. Not many! Chantal at
The Corner of Scraps and Quilts is masterful at using scraps. I'm inspired at the containers after she has spent time piecing the contents. She inspires me every day.

Oh, yes - those are beautiful, Terry! I like the way your gray and black string corners make a diamond, too. Now I'm curious to see the blues and greens mixed together!
Looking very good!
Making a new block was the right choice. Great blocks. The scraps never run out. Gail at the cozy quilter
Yep they are spectacular. Are you doing string quilts in each of RSC's color this year? You should be able to make a good dent in your scraps. (HA! we all know they multiply over night.)
I love the horizontal orientation of the string blocks, Terry. These are going to be awesome in a quilt.
Oh yes, I am loving this Green Goddess in the making. I have never made a String quilt but you do tempt me so.
