Default String quilt and other quilt pics.

I am almost done with the wife’s king size string quilt, binding is all I got left. I am happy with it, she is very happy with it.

This is my second quilt I am starting my third now its going to be a stack and wack wonky block. I seen a thread on it here on this site. It was fat quarters cut up and am embroidery a butterfly on some of the blocks, I don’t have any pics of that part yet. Squared up with a 16.5 inch ruler.

The block

Your quilts are very nice. That wonky block is a great idea.

Looks to me like making great quilts is genetic in your family! So often, talent seems to skip a generation. Thank you for sharing with us.
