String Quilt Block

Goodness, I have not been on the computer for a while now. We are having a lot of thunderstorms here and we have to "unplug" during the storms, they get a bit violent at times. I am just stealing a little time on here before the next one hits us.I will get back to reading blogs soon, I hope!

Diamond X

In the meantime I have been doing a little cleaning and then in between storms I fire up my sewing machine and have been working on this block. I have seen so many of these string blocks and I like them all. I got on a site that someone else had posted a link to, can't remember who it was, sorry. Anyway she a link to a string quilt in a diamond shape. I had already done a couple of string blocks but when I saw the diamond I liked it. I got to playing with it a bit and came up with this block. My hubby said that is a Diamond X. It took me a couple of tries before I got it so it was workable. The blocks are trimmed to  6.5 X 9.5. Here is the link to the web site

I wish I could remember who it was that posted the link first, maybe Quiltluvr? Not sure. There are some links on my tabs and it is listed there as well. I better go it is getting black here again and the county next to us is under a tornado watch. It is perfect weather for one too, hot and steamy!
See you all soon! Oh and thanks Amy for all those scraps because most of them were yours!
