Just wanted to show you the donation throw I made by your tutorial. I love this method to do my own quilting. Thanks again, Ditter, for the tutorial.

Thanks. I was using up strips of fabric I already had cut for other projects. They were different widths but that doesn't seem to matter. I still have a basket full of strips to use some day when my other UFO's are finished.

By the time I am through, it will only need a very small border to frame the edge blocks.... My DH LOVES the quilt and is in AWE of my work! That is a reward in itself! :-D Okay, tell me what you think! I started a string quilt more than 2 years ago, I guess it was. After Mama passed, it was so hard to get back to doing anything and still is. But I got it back out the other day and I had bookmarked your "The never ending string quilt". I began to work on it again yesterday and today. I sewed my scraps to a square cut out of cheap computer paper. I just now brought back up the post you did and showed it to my DH. I then read your message where you needed 16 more squares. You won't believe this, but I had sown mine together and counted and I need, yes, 16 more squares. Yours is much prettier than mine will be, but thanks for posting it and giving me the courage to get mine out and start again. If I hold out to finish it, I will post a picture of it. I wish I had started out doing the quilt as you go like you did, but I didn't so I will have to finish it with batting, and backing after all the strips are sewn together. I'm trying to put the white strip in mine like you did. I had gotten a large bag of fabric scraps, I guess 10-15 years ago or more. It was before Mama got sick and we were out searching for fabric and found a little run down looking shop in Englewood, TN, but inside they had so many different fabrics. You could buy quilt squares already cut or bags of scraps or buy fabric by the yardage. Mama loved to go there. Then a few years before Mama got sick, we went back and the shop was closed. It broke our heart. But about 8 months ago, my DH and I were out riding around and drove to Englewood and guess what? They had opened the shop back up and have more today than back then. The same sweet lady runs the shop. Anyone who lives near there, should go and take a look. If I am not mistaken it's called Katy's Fabrics. It's near the railroad tracks. |
