Scrappy string

What a stash buster this quilt is! Just need to quilt it now. I like when the quilting makes the blocks pop out so I will probably stitch in the ditch the white. Any suggestion for the color blocks?

Beautiful! I love the colors. I have never made a string quilt but after seeing this one....I may have to add it to my bucket list.

Very cool string quilt top! I might straight line quilt the squares in the same colours in a concentric squares into the center.

ManiacQuilter2 12-21-2015 05:32 AM

Very nicely done. I like how you kept the colors separate.

Thanks! It confirm what I was thinking. Thank you for having put it in words...especially english ones! Merci!!

Very nice. I'd do the white first. Maybe that will be all you want or need. How big are the squares and how close does the batting require you stitch.

No help with the quilting but I love your quilt especially the way you used the colors. Beautiful.

Love this pattern. Always looks like beveled glass to me. And as though it moves in and out. Gorgeous and love your colors.

Beautiful! I love your use of the colors and also how you did the border. very nice! I made a string quilt last year and I quilted the colored squares from corner to corner, which held everything in place nicely. Good luck.

Love your controlled use of color. Did you plan the block colors ahead of time or as you created the blocks?

Annaquilts 12-21-2015 01:14 PM

Beautiful! You did a great job with the pattern, colors and fabrics. Very nice! It inspired me to use those scraps.

I agree with Tessagin, it looks like beveled glass. I love the movement in it and it just pops! Gorgeous!

Spirals on the squares? It really is eye-popping, and already seems to spin.
