The blocks are pieced on 10" squares of flimsy foundation paper that I bought years ago from Missouri Star Quilt Company. (Advice to forum members; don't bother looking for those large tissue squares because MSQC doesn't sell them anymore.)

I used my AccuQuilt GO contraption to cut 1.5 inch strings from my little bins of leftover novelty fabrics and from my hoard of neutrals. This kind of sewing is what I call no-brainer sewing with an occasional thought as I recall a fun moment with a certain novelty fabric. 

When you visited my house (almost five years ago) you commented about the intricate quilts I had hanging on our walls. I might be working on another one pretty soon because I found a Karen K. Stone foundation piecing kit for sale on eBay yesterday and snatched it up. (That was a dumb luck find because she stopped selling her kits of papers years ago!)  It's a 40" square quilt  called "Vicious Circles" and is a variation on Double Wedding Ring.

Good grief!  That kit is going to be a doozy! Certain to keep you entertained and out of trouble.

This one is small (only 40" square) and I can limit the palette unlike the biggies I made long ago.

Maybe you should have your dear hubby pad that corner so you won't hurt yourself.  I've never done anything that ambitious--guess I'm more the quick and easy kind of gal.  Pretty sure I have adult ADD.  If it's going to take too long, I give up easily.  I stand in awe of your patience to work on something like that.

If you give up on this project please don't throw it away like you did "Storm At Sea. The day you did that I was heartbroken and ordered the larger kit.  It is finished and hanging on my living room wall. I love it.

Stay safe.

Jo, that's wonderful! 

When I checked a few months ago I did not find them on the site.  Those are the best foundation papers (because of the size) . The ones you found today are a different color (mine are printed in pinkish ink) but I'm so happy to see that they are for sale.

Are you talking about the John Flynn pre-cut "Storm at Sea" kit?  I got so frustrated with that because it was not foundation pieced.

Pinning is so painful for me with my bum thumb ....

Nice use of strings.  I really like it.
