Bloggers' Quilt Festival: Daisy Strings

My entry for the Bloggers' Quilt Festival is the string quilt I made for my mother using leftover scraps from my bee quilt.  I had a large bin of random strips that I knew I needed to clean up and organize but really didn't want to.  Instead I took some cheap 12x12" scrapbook paper and started a string quilt which left me with very little left to organize and sort. 

And facilitating the ripping of lots of little pieces of paper by a 4 year old and a 1 year old was an interesting part of the process.  The 1 year old kept grabbing the recycling bin and wanted to take it out any time there was any piece of paper in it.  It became a full time job but is a great memory for this quilt.
