Thread: diamond strings

this one just about killed me. not sure if i like it or not. i honestly think i unsewed as much as i sewed. i found a picture of an antique quilt on a web site and thought "how hard can that be" :shock:

Ooooooh! What wonderful colors!

Y'know, I'm lovin' this site! I am seeing so many things I never get a chance to see anywhere else. It's great!

It is terrific... I have not done a string quilt yet but yours makes me want one for myself :lol:

I love it! Scrappy strings and that bold black. The diamond shapes are very unique. I haven't seen that in string quilts. Very pretty! It reminds me of stained glass.

It's a beauty! My eyes just keep moving, trying to take it all in.

Beautiful! I also love that you found a quilt you liked and decided to do it!
(I think thinking that it couldn't be that hard is what gets some of us to try something.) :mrgreen:

It's Gorgeous!!! I love the way the black frames the diamonds and all those wonderful colors.... :) It's Eye Candy! :) :)

Great job! :)

Wow....that is pretty cool the way that looks! Its like ripples of color on stained glass! Gorgeous....

I've made quite a few string quilts and never used sashing with the squares before.... but I have made them where the center strip is all the same color and it becomes the sashing, in fact I am working on a teal colored one now.

if you decide you don't like it, you will be the only person on the planet who feels that way. :wink:

i think that's the most sophisticated treatment of strings i've ever seen. i absolutely love it! :P

WOW.. That is DRAMATIC!!! I really like it.. GREAT WORK!!
