Do you have a lot of scraps, strips and chunks of fabric hanging around your sewing room? Who doesn’t.
Merry May and Linda Hahn have a designed a string quilt in EQ6 that will help you use up your leftovers. It’s thrifty, frugal and somehow ends up looking extra cozy. String quilts date back to the 1880’s but in those days they never had EQ6 to play with! It’s a fresh look for a classic quilt. No Strings Attached is in the November issue of Quilt, page 76.
Merry May says, “I made up several variations of the simple half-square triangle block in EQ, and then colored them in with different combinations of fabrics, some from the latest Stash.”
Also, if you are interested in making string quilts, you might want to try EQ Printable Foundation Sheets. They would be great for that type of project.
Linda and Merry have also recently published their first book Insiders Guide to Quilting Careers and also do some designing for Elizabeth’s Studio (which you can find in our Stash program). They also have a website www.doubletroublestudios.com It’s full of fun stuff including a blog, free patterns, photos and much more. These ladies seem like they really have a lot of fun quilting and with everything they do!

Hello! I am looking for the pattern for “No Strings Attached” it is from your archives on 08/24/2009. I have tried the printer button several times and can’t get it printed…..is there any way you can email me the pattern….if not I understand. I’m making a quilt for my sister-in-law who lost her husband a year ago. Her daughter send my lots of his favorite shirts. They are all in soft blue tones. I think with a white background it would be beautiful with a plaid binding. I can see it in my head…thanks so much. Be well during this time of uncertainty and God Bless al, of you!
Thank you so much for all you classes and videos. Very helpful indeed.
FHS,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda,
The quilt you have planned sounds beautiful and will be a lovely gift for your SIL. This quilt was published in a magazine, so it cannot be printed from our site. You can try contacting the designer to see if she has a pattern available. This is her website: http://www.doubletroublestudios.com/
Stay safe and well-
Jenny @ EQ
