String Block Challenge quilt

 I finished my first string quilt for this year's Heartstring 365 block challenge.   It will be donated.  The goal is to average a block a day.  I chose to make sure I work on them every Sunday if I haven't completed 7 blocks during the week.  

I originally saw a quilt like this in a photo of a Modern Quilt Guild show.    Hopefully, I can get a better photo of it when I get a replacement thumbscrew for my stand.

I hoped the white centers, block setting, and horizontal straight line quilting would give these traditional fabrics a more modern look. 

The quilt measures 84" x 84" and consists of 64 blocks in the following (unfinished) sizes:

When making the rectangle blocks, be sure to sew half of the center white strips in one direction \ and the other half in the opposite direction / making mirror image blocks.
