I'm new to this website and have found it very helpful and valuable as I continue my quilting adventures. I have been quilting for over 10 years and am still finding new ways to do old things and the tips and pictures are great. I am so proud of my latest it's my first string quilt. I loved making it and plan on making a few more. I didn't realize I had so many scraps that I have been saving over the years just in case I needed them or for a future scrap quilt. I use to make pinwheel scrap quilts but it looks like now I am hooked on string quilts until something else distracts my attention.

Hello and welcome to the board from Ohio. Love your quilt. I have a string block quilt I need to put together. Hopefully one day soon.

Very nice! I hope to put one of them together in the future.

I can't wait to start my next one. Love pictures of quilts if you have any to show.

Welcome from Central Indiana!

I was so excited about my string quilt didn't notice how messy my house looks in the picture. But I think that makes me an official quilter and not a housekeeper or something to that effect. I blame it on my 3 dogs and 2 cats.

I loved the freedom of not matching colors or seams together it was a nice break from my usual quilting sessions.

beautiful quilt, never mind your house,when you leave this world , you,re not going to be remember for a clean house,
just be happy and enjoy whatever you do. nimble thimble

whoooo - i love it! if it were mine, i'd have to embroider ALL the seams - beautiful. made a cross between crazy & string for by dtr 108" x 108". have an embroidery book with 101 different stitches and tried to use all of them.

Hey we are working on the same thing, I just finished one, 7 blocks across by 9 blocks down. I also added a stripe border on both sides. My blocks are 9 1/2 x 9 1/2. I am now working on a floral, ( girly ). This will be my 3rd one. I save my scraps cut them into strips and just stash them til I have enough. How do you finish it off? Do you tie it or quilt it, batting or not.

Yours is lovely.

Welcome! Love your quilt.

the reason i love string quilts is because it's so easy. my dtr picked out the colors - i cut strips and randomly sewed 'em tog. i love the freedom. besides, after you get them sewn to the foundation, you can take one block & some embroidery thread in your purse anywhere you go. never a dull moment waiting for anything.

Beautiful Quilt! Welcome from Michigan.
