    Default I finished my learn new things string quilt.

    This fun project was designed for me to do every kind of new thing. I have posted about this baby before but have a much better picture of the quilt as a Show & Tell at my quilt guild. It puts the size in perspective. A great learning experience. I want, with this quilt, to have people spread their wings and try new things. The first one doesn't have to be perfect, This quilt has 8 different techniques or applications that I have never tired before. Some I will not likely try again while others will be a standard for many quilts to come.

    Very nice! Having the inner white border controls the scrappiness well. String quilts are on my list as I have many scraps (don't we all?). : )

    Thanks for sharing!

    Very nice quilt. You didn't say what the 8 new things were. Curious minds (well mine anyway) want to know
