Just finished this one. I found a bag of pretty small scraps at a garage sale and this is what happened. From a book called String Quilt Revival.

My favorite colors. So beautiful and sharp looking.

Love the color combination and the quilting adds the curves to soften the straight lines of the blocks. I made one in reds, blues and whites but I love your combo much better. Was just trying to use up my scraps as they were getting away from me.

Mariposa 10-21-2015 08:06 AM

Nicely done, and great colors!! :)

lynnie 10-21-2015 08:26 AM

beautiful!!!

SHELTIE'SMAMA 10-21-2015 08:35 AM

That's my kind of quilt and my kind of colors. Love it! That quilt is the classic example of making lemonade out of lemons. You have lots of skill and talent taking a bag of scraps and turning it into this beauty. Great job.

Beautiful! I need to go to some garage sales with you!

red-warrior 10-21-2015 10:15 AM

That's the prettiest string quilt I've seen. Love it.

One of the prettiest ones of that type that I have seen.

The colors you used look so good together!

Peacock eyes? It IS lovely.

janecat 10-21-2015 11:17 AM

So beautiful!

What did you use for your foundation? Muslin? Paper? If it was paper----what kind of paper did you use?

Scrappies are my favourite. Such yummy colours.....they are so restful.

beaqltr 10-21-2015 12:04 PM

I used deli papers that I got at a food service store. You get about 500 sheets for about $10.00. It's easy to remove. I bought mine about 5 years ago and still have plenty left.

I've got beaucoup tamale papers that I'm wondering if that would work.

Jingle 10-21-2015 01:30 PM

Cam's gram 10-21-2015 01:45 PM

Great quilt! And to think it's from some scraps at a garage sale - wonderful job!

BeckySt 10-21-2015 05:04 PM

Gorgeous. The colors are fabulous!!

ube quilting 10-21-2015 05:11 PM

Isn't it just grand to turn a bag of scraps into a beauty like this. I would have to take it back to the people and show them what you did! Wonderful.
peace
