Rainbow strings & the Fighting Illini

Heartstring quilts (see links in sidebar) are fun and easy to make -- beginning quilters at our worknights love to work on these. They can be totally scrappy, or you can play around with your scraps and come up with all sorts of different effects. Here we sorted our strings by color and made a rainbow quilt.
The individual blocks positively glow!

Living so close to the University of Illinois, many Linus recipients are big fans of the Fighting Illini. We combined some orange fabric with our blue strings and cut up some Illini fabrics to add to the mix -- wow! A Fighting Illini quilt! Let's hear it for the Orange Crush!
