Here's mine. I did this as a "leader-ender" quilt. It took a couple of years that way, but it is king-size. I love doing quilts as leader enders! You are making two quilts at a time. The picture doesn't show it quilted, but I'm about 3/4 of the way done handquilting in the center lavender squares.
Right now I'm working on a spider web string quilt. I found this pattern, and there are lots more, at Bonnie Hunter's website: http://quiltville.com/ You can check out her free scrap and string quilt patterns in column on left of page. She also has a great scrap savers system that I use. If you look in her post, you'll see the words Scrap Savers System highlighted in blue. Click on it and it will take you there! |
They are all beautiful. When I get all the quilts that I am making for grandchildren I will do one of these for just MYSELF!

Just lovely, Girls. I too would like to see more pics of these since I make mostly scrap quilts.

String Quilt

This is the first one I ever made.

Such terrific quilts...and all so creatively put together. I've got one "in the works" for my future daughter-in-law...using my scraps and some scraps from clothing she parted with when they moved house. Hope mine turns out as pretty as these.

Beautiful quilts - I love string quilts. I've posted this one before - it is the bottom photo - the only string I've ever made all on my own all though I've participated in "group" string quilts. Here's the link to mine:http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...k-t178438.html

Beautiful one and all thanks for sharing

No. I have done many many this way. In a class on Craftsy I learned that some folks press the seams open when sewing the blocks together. I am trying one that way right now.

I started making string blocks on muslin squares. If i sew them together and then use regular batting and backing, is this going to be too heavy and the seams too bulky?

So beautiful!!!

I made two of these. I don't remember exactly when I made them but it was at least 5 years ago. I pieced on newspaper squares and made half of the blocks all dark and half all white and then cut them on the diagonal and put them back together.
