this one just about killed me. not sure if i like it or not. i honestly think i unsewed as much as i sewed. i found a picture of an antique quilt on a web site and thought "how hard can that be" :shock:

Ooooooh! What wonderful colors!

Y'know, I'm lovin' this site! I am seeing so many things I never get a chance to see anywhere else. It's great!

It is terrific... I have not done a string quilt yet but yours makes me want one for myself :lol:

I love it! Scrappy strings and that bold black. The diamond shapes are very unique. I haven't seen that in string quilts. Very pretty! It reminds me of stained glass.

It's a beauty! My eyes just keep moving, trying to take it all in.

Beautiful! I also love that you found a quilt you liked and decided to do it!
(I think thinking that it couldn't be that hard is what gets some of us to try something.) :mrgreen:

It's Gorgeous!!! I love the way the black frames the diamonds and all those wonderful colors.... :) It's Eye Candy! :) :)

Great job! :)

Wow....that is pretty cool the way that looks! Its like ripples of color on stained glass! Gorgeous....

I've made quite a few string quilts and never used sashing with the squares before.... but I have made them where the center strip is all the same color and it becomes the sashing, in fact I am working on a teal colored one now.

if you decide you don't like it, you will be the only person on the planet who feels that way. :wink:

i think that's the most sophisticated treatment of strings i've ever seen. i absolutely love it! :P

WOW.. That is DRAMATIC!!! I really like it.. GREAT WORK!!

Care to try a star http://www.geocities.com/quiltfrenzy_archives/stringpiecedstar.html

Makes we want to make another string quilt. That came out really well, looks very good

I love the colors...and I think thats what's all about....creating new interesting things.....great..I am sure that by now you also love it... :D

ruth, thanks for the link to the 60 inch star string quilt. after working with strings for 2 quilts in a row, that star made me have to sit down and put a cool cloth on my forehead. :shock: maybe later :wink:

Looks beautiful.

It wonderful!!! I think it turned out perfectly!!!

I think it is gorgeous :!: :!:

:lol: You often crack me up!!

I am with the bunch--the 100%--who say it's stunning. The black really sets those blocks off. applause!!!

Very striking. I love the way you put the squares on point. Scrappy quilts are the best!

Yikes! I bet you had a lot of bias edges to work with! Turned out beautiful!

yes, it is pretty much all bias. that is one reason i put the black outline. but i am handling it very gingerly til it is finished. the original was an antique i found on line and it was pretty crooked. but very interesting. i couldn't resist giving it a try.

Nanabirdmo,
Your quilt just makes my eyes dance. It's great.
I've started a string quilt but have a long ways to go before I decide on a setting yet. This setting is great! Got to go book mark it.

I agree with you. I don't think you like it.

Being the friend that I am, I will help you out in your time of need.

I will p-mail my address and you can send that awful thing to me.


(Y'all think she will fall for it?)

lol tim. if you promise to quilt it and send it back :twisted:

I love the way the black frames the colorful diamonds. I'm currently making string quilt blocks and I might just have to try setting them together like your quilt.
