I spent the weekend making this--now to quilt and bind.
Strings are extremely popular! Carrie sent me a link to a challenge Stacey is hosting called It's A String Thing Challenge. She's still accepting participants if anyone is interested that didn't get to join my challenge. Go have a look. Lots of inspiration. Thanks Carrie.

Update--As of this writing I have counted 90 finished string projects. WOWZER! Basket liner, needlebooks, placemats, pillows, potholders, pincushions, quilts, zippy pouches, aprons, wallhangings. You ladies are really amazing. Have you made a dent in your stash piles? I've been playing with rick rack.s

Yes - my strip pile is depleting my stash. I needed a small piece of black yesterday and, of course, had used the last piece in a string block - so now I need to go buy a piece of black. Somedays you just can't win.
My strip pile is getting bigger. Everytime I make something I make the leftovers in to stripes. So I have to make more stripe blocks. So I working om my stripes. I love your table runner with rick racks
Your runner is beautiful and just in time for Easter!! I love it!! That is amazing 90 finishes, I gotta get going!
Very sweet tabelrunner !!
I guess that you had a great time..
For me there has not been much creativety, sorry.
That's a great number. Love your little runner, very sweet fabrics.
OOO, your new string projects are so pretty.
The buttons and ric rac complement the strings perfectly! Very pretty indeed.
Beautiful Spring colours in your runner. Cute Easter basket. :-)
Yes I am definately depleting my odd bits now. There was just shavings of the Halloween colours left when I finished those tops. The rainbow colours just have small odd shapes left- applique maybe. Definate stash busting progress here. :-) Fun! Thanks for hosting.
Soft, pretty, and very spring looking.
Love your placemat - love the jumbo rick rack. Looks great on the beige.
This Challenge and put a huge dent in my stash.
This little basket block is so cute and what a good way to do a string block. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Oh my, I still have quite a stash to work through! I guess that shows how much fabric I've been storing over the years. I do find myself running low on some colors or values though.
This weekend I bought a book on string quilts so maybe I'll be motivated to use up even more of my fabric!
Beautiful runner, and I love the soft spring colors!
(Great milk-glass cake stand, too!)
I am so amazed at how creative you all are!
Sweet pastel colours in your table runner!
By now I have made 55 string in blocks 7.5" squares, but no visible dent in my stash! Together with the 10 pillowcases there is some difference to be seen. I need to work harder!
I just love the tablerunner. So my colors. And it suits the cabinet perfectly! I love the linen border.
The basket looks very sweet too!
Seems pink in on your mind lately. The tablerunner is sweet and the basket--well, the ric rac handle is inspired!
Hi Stephanie,
Do you know how much I had to catch up with on your blog. My goodness you've been busy and your sewing room looks wonderful. I love all the string quilt creations and I'll have to show you a quilt I did for my show using a honey bun not my stash, but it's just like using strings. Love the stash buster though and boy do I need to do that.
So good to catch up with you and will be looking forward to part 2 of the sewing room. Hubby did a great job on your sewing table.
Keep Stitchen'

I love the little string blocks in your table runner. And your sewing room furniture shown last week. Your sewing room looks like a wonderful place to create.
Love all the ric rac.
Thank you for the link, Stephanie :)
There are so many lovely projects out there!
Your basket block is adorable. Green and pink are looking very cute together and the table topper is so sweet in soft colors :)
The table runner is lovely! And I love, love your basket block!!!
I think I'll never really make a dent in my stash!...But that's all right with me! ;-)))
Those are just like the baskets we are making in our quilt group this year. What a great way to use strings for them! Love it.
