Block of the Month Project: Block #5

Block of the Month, Block 5

The Craftsy Block of the Month project continues.  April brought us string piecing techniques, and I have to say that the two blocks this month might be my favorites.  I've made one other string block like this one, although the technique used here was different -- the instructions had us sew each strip onto a foundation square.  The four foundation squares are sewn together at the end to create the block.  Although the foundation means that the finished block has more weight than one in which you sew the strips to foundation or freezer paper, I wouldn't rule out using it again for a string quilt in the future.
