I received a wonderful box yesterday form my Heart Strings (yahoo group) Friend Nikki. This is actually the second box of "strings Nikki has sent me. Her kind heart is helping me to help others.
Most of these pieces were already cut in to strips - to make a string quilt! there were also many other shapes and random fabric bits.
I have a system to keep these and help me quilt them up. Odd shape pieces go into a "Bits Bib" large pieces go into my "To be Cut Bin" The string get sorted in color order and theses stay on a shelf until I am ready to quilt.
This box weighed a Ton!!
Beautiful Clean fabrics waiting to go into a quilt!

to give you an idea what a heart string quilt looks like, here is one I made a few years ago: This is one of my first ones. It isn't perfect but I'm not sure the guy at the Springfield rescue mission that received it cared much. It was pretty, made with Love and Warm!!
After 30 minutes of sorting I still wasn't through this jam packed box!!
After the box was emptied my Bins were full and so weren't my string bins!! I have a lot of fabric here and I look forward to getting these quilts done up when my friend Pam comes back from vacation!
