Hello and Welcome from Illinois i just left a site before i came here and was looking at string quilts i want to make one but not sure if my scrap bag has enough scraps in it yet ( by the way i didnt notice the background of you house till you said something in another post so i had to go back and look) my theory is who cares as long as the quilt looks good !!!

Welcome. Your quilt is Wonderful. It looks so detailed. Lots of hard work I'm sure. I'm going to try and post my first quilt tomorrow.
|
Welcome from Oregon. Your quilt is beautiful. god bless.
|
btw most of my string quilts have larger strings than most - like a wide one thru the middle then smaller ones on each side.

I plan on just using free motion quilting all over it with a spool of thread that has many different colors in it I think it's called striated thread. Will probably use a light weight batting some kind of polyester because the top already seems heavy due to the weight of the foundation muslim squares I used. Have considered no batting and that might be the way to go. Have you put one together with no batting and did it come out ok?
I am mentally planning my second one as soon as I get a couple of baby blankets finished in the coming week. I really enjoyed making my first string quilt and see many more in the future. Might try a color pattern next time around but who knows. Thank you for your response. Ellie |
Both my kids graduated from OSU. They keep coming back and moving out and coming back again. aaa They love my quilts each have about 5 through the years and then the friends get one eventually too. Keeps me busy. Ellie

i never include batting in my foundation pieced quilts - too heavy. so far i've used muslin for foundation pieces and backing too.
|
It looks great!

Welcome from Kuwait! Great quilt - I hope to do one someday soon. Thanks for the wonderful pics.
|
as wide as i have on hand - i usually try to make a pretty wide one thru the diagonal middle then 1 - 3 on each side. when i made my dd's quilt - i planned it so i cut strips 2", 3", & 4" wide. i purchased coordinating fabrics b/c she is soooo anal that the colors HAVE to match or she wouldn't use it.
