Both my quilts need to be sandwiched and quilted. Hope to be finished by summer. This one is for my son's 40th birthday. If you look closely the black has confetti in it.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]331408[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]331409[/ATTACH]Just finished piecing this quilt. My daughter has a much better eye for photography, and shot these pics for me. They still need to be sandwiched and quilted. I've never made this pattern before, but it was very fun to sit with a basket of strings and simply keep adding to the blocks. Not sure I liked using phonebook paper, :thumbdown:, it was very messy. Next time I'd like to use muslin.

I used my strings to make two different spider web quilts. I did them as foundation piecing and am now ready to put them with the backing. I am using sheets in the middle as they are already heavy enough. My second upload keeps failing. Perhaps it is too big.

I love string quilts and have lots and lots of strings, so should start one but other things first. I'll see if I can find some I've done. Thanks for this thread. I could just find one I have done.

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!
