I've made some and seen a lot....of these string quilts....but I think your's is the nicest I've seen.....the black tiny squares really sets it off.....not only as cornerstones, but that border....Oh My! It is perfect.....lots of work, but so well done.....

That is lovely - and I love the way you used the black squares/diamonds to sort of tie it all together.

Totally agree - it is really, really nice with the black accents

Now that is one of the prettiest scrappy quilts with this pattern that I have seen. Your border is just the right amount of structure for this quilt. A very lovely quilt!
