I only once used a fabric background when in a class doing a crazy quilt mini, my issue was it was so thick and a lot more difficult to press when joining the blocks.Kate @ Smiles From Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525561534884021883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-35505749231082686032017-02-23T01:46:19.116-06:002017-02-23T01:46:19.116-06:00I am still trying to make enough scraps to do a st...I am still trying to make enough scraps to do a string quilt...I'll get there one day - yours is fantastic!!Gemini Jen NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199723644660260315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-35740141101989661082017-02-22T21:10:42.087-06:002017-02-22T21:10:42.087-06:00Thanks!

The way I see it though, even with paper piecing, once the paper is torn away, there are bias edges that way as well. I didn't have any trouble with them stretching out of shape at all though.<br /><br />:) KellyKelly @ My Quilt Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383511246261347442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-25292815800411096782017-02-22T20:11:44.327-06:002017-02-22T20:11:44.327-06:00Great idea to not use paper when piecing a string ...Great idea to not use paper when piecing a string quilt.

What I did was used my 8.5" ruler to tape off a corner section on my cutting mat and measured my strips against this taped off section the same way you are using your ruler. It works wonders and avoids paper and foundations. I use the same ruler to square up.<br /><br />I love scrap quilts...
