I dont have much in white, but this inspires me and makes me want to do this, too!
|
Isn't that amazing what a beautiful quilt all those whites and off whites will make?! It is actually fascinating to look at and see all the ways white can be done. Everyone will love that!

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. Pat I found some of my scraps had too much yellow tone and some of the beige looked almost pinkish so i was careful to use ones that i really liked the looks of..some whites can even had a grey tone to them... |
I like the way that looks....elegant
|
This is a very pretty relaxing quilt, with a cool design. Thanks for sharing.

I saw one simular to this in one of the quilt magazines some time ago. I loved it! They called it white chocolate.
|
Very nice!!!! That will blend in any where you put it!!!
|
I never would have thought to make a quilt using just those colors but I really do love yours. It's so calm and peaceful.

It has a Wow effect. I have never seen one made this way but I like it.

Gorgeous quilt Sue! Had to laugh though when I realized you didn't use adding machine tape. I still have a couple unused rolls just waiting!

How different! I like it. My mind is so set on using a huge variety of scraps, I would have never thought of this. Very clever.

I absolutely love it just the way it is but it would also look great with some flowers appliqued on it!

I, too, was thinking this would be a great backdrop for applique work. And at the same time has it's own unique beauty.

I have never really liked any of the string quilts that I've seen....but yours is beautiful!!!!! It's classic yet very modern!!!!!!

That is a new perspective on a string quilt and I love it! It has such a calming feel just looking at it!
Well Done! |
I am in Raleigh..new here sort of.. What direction is statesville in from here?
|
Wow! I love it in off whites. I did one in pinks and reds. I like it. My DD said it was too much. It is a bed sized quilt. Maybe if I had just done the throw I started out doing, it would have been better.
