Neat quilt! All the bright colors, and the flowers are a nice touch. Well done!

Awesome quilt! Love the way you did the colors. In fact, I'm keeping a photo. You know what they say: imitation is the highest form of flattery! I've just started doing string quilts, but I think I'll need a little more practice before I can line something up this precisely in terms of colors. Anyway, beautifully done, and kudos to you for such beautiful work!

I used a yellow sheet for backing and then appliqued a few flowers. I wanted to use whatever I had in my stash and did not want to buy anything new for this quilt.
I think it turned our awesome!

What a clever variation of the traditional string quilt! Even your backing is clever and pretty too.

Love the gradation and the white built-in framing. GREAT JOB!

So bright and vibrant...no way anyone covering up with that could be anything but happy.

It's really unique. Never have seen (or if I did I can't remember) seeing one with the colors like this. Very pretty!
