Dawn's Early Light

Since I finished the Jamestown Landing Top, I needed another string project.  I've been making neutral string blocks for Dawn's Early Light, a Bonnie Hunter pattern found in vol. 13 of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.  This is going to be a long term project for me.




I haven't figured out yet how big a quilt I'm going to make, or how many string block I'll need.  So far I have 28 seven inch string blocks and 12 three and a half inch string blocks.  I'll be able to use up a bunch of 1 1/2 HSTs that I have left over from another project too.  This quilt would be overwhelming to me if I stopped to  count the number of pieces in each block, so for right now, I'm going to focus on making a bunch of string blocks and worry about the rest later.  This quilt has no deadline.

That looks like a really ambitious project. Love those soft colours.

Oh I like that one. One problem with following the linky is wanting to add quilts not finish them.
