Would you like to bust your stash? Here’s our newest pattern that will use your scraps, fat quarters or yardage-whatever you have that will make these beautiful two toned beads. AND it is a beginner skill level so that a young girl will supervision could make this her own project!

Beads on a String comes with throw and twin sizes included in the pattern. The string bead block and outer border can be strip pieced and went together in no time. Because my stash has many little pieces I cut out individual rectangles for the border-the pattern tells you how many to cut for each size if you want to do it that way too.

Wouldn’t it look great with a black background? Or even try it with oriental prints for a china bead quilt. Here’s the link to the catalog:

You will find it in the pieced and children’s designs groups.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,
