All of these quilts are just gorgeous. Amazing what a few strings put together can look like. I hope to make one someday.

Here's one i made for my big brother... He keeps hinting he wants another.. lol. We'll see if he gets another, I have to make the normal 'one or everyone' first before he can have seconds.. lol..

Pattern: None, just something i came up with
Fabrics: strings from the scrap strings basket
Quilting: all over meander
Size: aprox 10inch blocks (i think)

Ooooooooooooh, Luv... I love it (how corny!). I keep thinking i'll make osme string blocks because Mary over at maryquilts collects RWB ones to sew into QOV's. Oh... now that I think about it... I have made a couple of these eons ago. But mine didn't look nearly as nice as yours. Hey... will you adopt me so I'll be next in line for one???

Lovely quilts I have made two string quilts and when I get the quilt done I am on I plan on making another one they
are so easy to make. I have a lot of strips of fabric to use up. You did a good job on your quilts.
