That's it! I was trying to think of what the zing of your quilt & that's it... the depth. I love it! Isn't it amazing what you can do with leftovers? Fabulous! Thanks for showing this gem to us!

OOOOOO those colors are magnificent! I just want to dive into them. I see all the sparkle and brilliance of a well cut sapphire. Can I say more! Lovely.

There is hardly anything that can compare to a gorgeous scrap quilt! I love this one

That is so petty with the blue. I love the effect of that center triangular strip in the block. The block looks like it sparkles with your fabric combination.

Simply sunning!

It is very pretty, I just finished a string quilt, and I still have lots of strips left, I think I could make one a week for a year and still have strips.

Love it!! You did a super job. Never thought about this kind of quilt for a baby but it definitely works!

blues are my favorites too. Love the quilt and the technique. What and where is the pattern. I have never made a string quilt but would like to try.

yes, I think I have the same book, but the background in book is white?????? I would like to try this one too, but make it scrappy as I have a file box full of various size strips of misc fab...........

Very pretty. It almost looks like a kaleidoscope.

Love this beautiful blue baby quilt. You did not post the "book title" when you posted, so others could make their own. This is a different way to make a string quilt. I have made several and they are fun and no brainers. Please share this Book information.

I really like it and I think it has plenty of contrast. Thanks for sharing.

I love it! It reminds me of those old fashioned kaleidoscopes. Lucky baby!

EvelynJ 05-23-2012 03:51 PM

That is a beautiful work of left overs. I have so many colors it's ridiculous. I love it.

Greenheron 05-23-2012 05:18 PM

That quilt just sparkles.

callen 05-23-2012 07:40 PM

dublb 05-23-2012 08:51 PM

Oh Jan it is lovely!! :thumbup: Blue is my favorite color!

MimiBug123 05-23-2012 09:15 PM

Pretty! Love all the shades of blue. It's very soothing.

really turned out great.. i love string quilts...

bobquilt3 05-24-2012 02:36 AM

Love the one-color theme. One of the pretties string quilts I've seen.
Also like the quote at the end. At 80, it's hard to get much woo-hoo in the ride any more but I'm still working on it. <grin>

Thanks for all the words of praise! For those that missed it, the book is by Krause Productions and is called "String Quilt Revival" by Virginia Baker & Barbara Sanders. I found mine on Amazon. This pattern is called "Diamonds are Forever". Charisma quilted one recently someone had done with a white diamond in it. It was beautiful.
