Another string pieced top
 
2 Attachment(s)
I've been trying to make a dent in my strings lately. I used strings from my vintage sheet collection for this. Posted a picture on Facebook and it will have a new home when it is made a little bigger and finished! I'm adding 2 columns and 1 more row to make a lap quilt, then it will be hand quilted.
The rectangles are about 6.25" x 11" unfinished. They are that size because I got a booklet in the mail for adult ed classes at the community college...cut off the fold/staples and decided I liked the proportions :)

That is so pretty! But won't it be hard to hand quilt through the sheets?

Faintly Artistic 10-24-2017 02:13 PM

Actually, sheets are dreamy to hand quilt! It's the high thread count sheets that are hard.

I'm suddenly wanting some pink lemonade, lol. That's what this reminds me of. Lovely! You must have an impressive collection of vintage sheets!

Yes! Pink lemonade! Knew it reminded me of something! It's lovely.

I like the way you used rectangles instead of squares. Great quilt.

Wow, that's pretty! I like the controlled colors.

I love the booklet sized blocks, and the coloring. The blocks are more beautiful than many fabrics I have seen. You are very artistic.

Pretty fabrics and love how different it looks from the typical square string blocks.

Geri B 10-25-2017 07:48 AM

Great looking! Love how we repurpose!

Nicely done! Reminds me of pink lemonade~ :)

I love this quilt. Faintly Artistic, is this sewn on paper sheets from the booklet? Barney

sJens 10-25-2017 03:28 PM

That is going to be a pretty quilt.

Wonderful idea!!!!!!

dorismae904 10-26-2017 04:28 AM

I love your blocks. Thanks for suggesting the block size. As a string block addict, I'm always looking for different ideas for putting the blocks together. This make a lovely different block.

Treequilter 10-26-2017 04:53 AM

Like the color combo. Love these string quilts.
