String Quilt Started
 
2 Attachment(s)
Here is a string quilt I started last night, it's 9 1/2" blocks and so far it's 6 blocks across by 3 down. Just doing scrappy 30's.

It looks great! I like the use of dark blue contrasting strips!

That purple repeat is going to be a great eye catcher in your quilt. Kudos!

Well, you've picked two of my favorites--string piecing and reproduction fabrics! So pretty!!!

quiltsRfun 12-13-2011 07:04 PM

Love the way the navy blue strip unifies the blocks. This will be a great quilt.

I love these quilts and yours is going to be terrific.

babyquiltlady 12-14-2011 04:01 AM

You are SEW right - a great way to reduce that scrap pile in the sewing room. What does your border and quilt binding look like?

#1piecemaker 12-14-2011 04:30 AM

It's gonna be soooo pretty!! Keep going!!

catladyquilts 12-14-2011 04:33 AM

that is so cute, it's fun to say "I have that fabric and that one"

laurafet 12-14-2011 04:56 AM

Love that blue contrast in each block! It looks great.

buddy'smom 12-14-2011 04:57 AM

Not sure as yet. Thank you.

i have to ask...is this paper pieced? i love the effect, but, i'm not sure i could make it work this wonderfully without some sort of guide!
can't wait to see it come along!
