I have long wanted to make a string quilt, and this one is my scrappiest scrap quilt yet. My previous "scrap" quilts have used 2.5" squares, but they weren't exclusively scrappy. Originally, this quilt was going to have 99 blocks. When I decided to add 21 more, I did have to cut some strings from wider strips and scrap rectangles so I'd have enough variety.
I bought the Hex N More ruler at least three years ago now intending to make the Comet quilt. That still has not happened. This is the Lotus. After a baby quilt detour, this butterfly print was once again my next project. I bought a few more orange and purple prints to make it happen. Originally, the butterflies were going to be the triangles, but I ended up having enough to cut jewels.
