So lovely. Did you use paper piecing?

Sue Fish 05-29-2012 11:04 AM

No paper piecing..just sewn onto a foundation square

I like the tone-on-tones of this string quilt. Gives it an elegant look. Thanks for sharing.

I love, love, love these neutral quilts! So soothing & serene! This one is just gorgeous! You should also post this baby over on the string quilt thread... if I made something this fabulous, I'd want to show it off everywhere!

Really lovely!

EvelynJ 05-29-2012 06:06 PM

I looked at this yesterday and have viewed it again today. I like the variations of color but that would just drive me crazy looking at strips that have such slight color changes and making them work out. I must applaud you.

Where is that? I'd like to see more of the string quilts

That is going to be a beautiful quilt.

Very pretty! I love the neutrals, and I love string quilts!

Very pretty, I love string quilts.

solstice3 05-30-2012 04:19 AM

wow.. great job!

WMUTeach 05-30-2012 04:25 AM

This is really a stunning quilt not matter how large or small it may be. I would not have thought of using just whites and creams but ... thanks to you, I will now!

mama's place 05-30-2012 04:28 AM

Like it....wanna do one too!!
Brenda

Cindy60545 05-30-2012 04:45 AM

Oh I like it! You could leave it just the way it is, border it, or even add some applique to it & use this as a background. Sew many possibilities!

the old one 05-30-2012 04:53 AM

Great idea, I love making string quilts, have never used neutrals entirely--but now I will!!

w1613s 05-30-2012 05:32 AM

Ooooh I wish we lived closer to each other. Won't bore you with the story;bottom line: I can't pick colors worth a toot. Your "scraps" make my heart beat faster! I'm collecting for a scrap quilt in muted tones of green. We live in the trees and have a pond. Two of our bedroom walls are plate glass so we can lay in bed or sit on the lounge and look at the outdoors. Assuming I get it figured out, the quilt will go on our bed.

Is there some formula to to putting together the lights and darks or may I slavishly follow what you have done? I am a good technician and problem solver but no artistic talent anywhere so if you feel inclined to tell me sizes and anything else you feel germane, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for listening to my sob story.

I really like that color (non color) combination. Very relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

mommessy 05-30-2012 05:49 AM

Beautiful! Love the whites! You're giving me ideas!

MaryAnnMc 05-30-2012 06:25 AM

Oh, that's very soothing. I like it very much.

I love the shades of color you used.....thanks for sharing

ItsJustMe 05-30-2012 07:09 AM

Just beautiful. I love tone on tones, especially light colors.

Grandma Peg 05-30-2012 07:10 AM

What a beautiful quilt!! Looks too elegant for a scrappy quilt.

carolynjo 05-30-2012 08:02 AM

I like it! I like it!
