I do have a plan for the Rainbow String blocks, and that plan is pretty traditional - simple sashing and cornerstones. The black sashing actually has little white dots scattered on it. And the cornerstones are from the 2.5” squares I have collected from scraps. There were plenty of those squares to choose from, but I have actually been using a lot of them lately too. A very handy size square!
Anyway . . . I thought I had made 20 of these string blocks, but I found there were actually 25 in the pile. There are 24 of them laid out in this arrangement, which is a bit long and narrow. But we'll see how it looks with all the sashing and borders. And I'll have a pretty string block left over as “seed” for the next set of rainbow strings.

Pretty - it looks like a paint box.
This quilt is going to be so bright and fun. Love the black sashing!
It's going to be a cute quilt.
Pretty blocks! I like the idea of 'seed blocks' for the next quilt. :-)
The black really makes those bright blocks pop! I think black is under-appreciated and under-used (said as I’m looking in the mirror) as a setting color. Anyway, what a lovely grouping!
So pretty, and the black really sets them off! Amazing what you can make from scraps!
