Liberated String Quilts

Sara was kind enough to lend me a book that she recently purchased.  String quilts are a process of using your scrap fabric and wasting nothing.  Gwen Marston made most of the quilts in 1999 and published this book in 2003.  I always seem to be behind the times.  Last year I made my first and only string quilt. 

 Now in 2010, after reading this book and seeing the versatility of this type of quilt, I am anxious to make more.  Gwen goes into great detail about the history and turning scraps into beautiful quilts.   If you see her book, I think that you will agree and be enthused about what can be done with you srcaps.
