July Block Tutorial for Hive 6

Hi I'm Karen and I hope I'm the Queen for Hive 6 for July.  I am late getting my tutorial posted because I have been locked out of my phone and iPad by Apple for the last 6 days.



Here is the block I would like made -- a string block. Actually, it is 4 61/2" string blocks sewn together to make a 12 1/2" string block.

String blocks are so easy to make.

These will be made using the foundation method.  I've found a 7 1/2" light foundation square works well.  Start out by placing one string right side up diagonally in the center of the square, then sew a strip placed right sides together.  Press and continue till the square is covered in strings.  Trim the 4 blocks up to 6 1/2" and sew 4 together so that it looks like an X.  Use whatever colors or stash that you probably already have.  I'm showing some of my completed blocks.  I know my pictures aren't in order but I hope you get the idea of what I want (I'm computer challenged...)

I'm sorry my pictures are not in order, I hope you get the idea.  Computers and I don't get along apparently.
