Scrap Attack Strings QAL - show and tell number 4



Last month I was lucky enough to win a gorgeous charm pack from http://sewlux.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/scrap-attack-strings-qal-show-tell-4.html.
Thank you Chrissy.
This spurred me on to make a lot more of my string blocks.  I have completed 49 and sewn them all together.  I ran out of usable white fabric so decided this would be enough for me.  I am not sure what I will do with it next but have been fussy cutting the flowers that I have sitting on the flimsy.  I still have a few more to cut out.  I am thinking a nice floral border would look nice - perhaps a nice hawaiian print.

Foto Finish - Red
