BEADS ON A STRING

    A beautiful modern quilt that is fun to make using your favorite scraps. You can keep it very simple by making each colorful block out of just one fabric or go all the way  with foundation paper piecing using a variety of scraps, add dimension with trapunto, and add interest to the binding with piping. Other techniques for making the "bead" blocks are string piecing and improvisational piecing.

The pattern will help you create a wall hanging or a lap quilt of 54" x 60" but, by adding additional rows and columns, this quilt can be easily turned into a bed quilt.
