While I was visiting my parents last week, my niece and sister helped me remove the paper from my Jamestown Landing string blocks. That saved me a ton of time! When I got back in town, I started piecing the rows together.
This quilt is a little tricky to piece. You have to make sure your string blocks are leaning in the right direction. A design wall is a big help, but as much as I love my wall, I wish it were a couple of feet longer.

beautiful - I'm pretty sure that whatever size design wall a quilter has, she will start making a quilt that is at least one size bigger:)
This is an amazing quilt in the making, Laura. So much tricky piecing.
I agree with maggie.
Your blocks look gorgeous, and enlisting helpers to remove the foundation papers was a great idea. The colors of this quilt remind me of a perfect day at the beach: nothing but sand and clear blue skies...
Somehow, no matter how big, whatever space available for quilt layout always seems to be a bit too small. :) Very pretty!
How pretty! Awesome of your sister to help remove the papers! That part drives me crazy after 5 minutes.
It is a beautiful quilt. Please share your secret; how were you able to convince others to remove foundation papers for you?
WOW! This is going to be stunning!
Great job--that is a fun quilt to make.
