Fun and wonky string quilt
 
4 Attachment(s)
The September 2014 issue of AQS magazine had an article by Gwen Marson about contemporary string quilts. That was the inspiration for the design of this quilt that I did for my niece, who is about to have her second child. Also, I recently viewed one of Angela Walter's Craftsy classes, called "dot-to-dot" quilting; the designs she taught there were the basis of the quilting I did. This quilt was really fun, and I'm very happy with how it came out. The back is flannel. I quilted on my LA, and then used a decorative stitch on my DSM for the edges of the purple sashing.

That is a beautiful quilt and your quilting is amazing. I have a LA but I hate ruler work. Maybe I just need more practice, because yours is just so great I want to learn to like it.

I didn't think I was a jealous person, but when I see such beautiful quilting I do get a twinge. I love the quilt and your quilting compliments it beautifully.

I don't normally gravitate toward string quilts, but yours has pulled me in!
I love the colors, the design, the quilting, the everything!!
If you're niece by some freak of chance doesn't think she can use it, I'll send you my address...;)

Love the bright colors with so much white showing. Don't ask me why but it reminds me of dancing. A real beauty with wonderful quilting.

Interesting! It makes me think of confetti. In fact, I might name it that... or maybe "Celebration!" (since it's for a new baby?)

Love the quilt and your quilting!

Jeanne S 01-18-2015 02:28 PM

Love your quilt! The colors are great and I especially like the contrast of the dark print border with the white background center!

Judith1005 01-18-2015 02:37 PM

wow, what a fun quilt to use all those odd shape stings. I love it. Your quilting is fabulous!

It just reminded me how much I loved it the 1st time I saw it...and that I might just be a "string quilt convert"...:thumbup:
Naming it celebration sounds perfect!
