Top done and backing chosen, just not quilted yet. My colors were fall choices. I think very nice as its my favorite time of the year. I appliqued some fall leaves in the border also.

Very nice, and I love the backing fabric too.

[quote=cat-on-a-mac]I did my first foundation-pieced quilt using a diamond pattern. Actually, I found the fabric for the border (a Laurel Burch design) and had to come up with a quilt to match! After I finished piecing the top, I took a free-motion quilting class, so I took the plunge and did a swirly pattern for the quilting with variegated thread. Some of swirls aren't very "smooth", but overall it came out OK. Instructor recommended choosing busy pattern for backing, so that your quilting mistakes aren't as obvious ... so I did![/quote

Nice job! Love the idea about the busy backing fabric - going to use that one, too!

Love string quilts and your fabrics are so nice and bright, the backing is just perfect.
Don't you find that making string blocks just soothes the soul, relieves stress and makes a great quilt? warm quilt hugs, sue in CA ... who loves to make string quilts on fabric foundation, not paper, hating to remove those paper bits. |
Ahhhhh, that is gorgeous! I love those colors.
|
So beautiful! I like your color choices, even for the back!
|
I love string quilts! This is one is wonderful with the bright colors. Border is perfect!
