4. String X

One of Bonnie’s string quilt variations, String X lets you raid your scrap bin without guilt. Strips are laid diagonally in a creative X formation, and you can vary colors in endless ways.

Why It Works:

  • Busts through even the tiniest scraps.
  • The “X” design adds a modern geometric appeal.
  • Super fast once you get into the rhythm.

Pinterest Tip: Post a flat lay of a dozen colorful “X” blocks with scissors and thread spools for that studio-in-progress feel.
