String Quilt

Just put the binding on this scrap quilt. Just did straight walking foot quilting, such a relief not to agonize over what to do.Will use as a picnic quilt

I love it. If I'd made it my DH would grab it for 'stained glass' window covering.

Kitsie 03-12-2017 01:29 PM

Really, really nice! Anyone that can piece strips together like that amazes me!

This is very pretty and has a futuristic feeling to me. It reminds me of the great scene in Forbidden Planet where Dr. Morbius walks Commander Adams along the sky walks while he explains how big the machinery is. I love this quilt.

​Great quilt!

String quilts usually do strange things to my eyes but this one does not & is very, very lovely. I think it's because of the unique sashing & the sweet 9 patch blocks. I love it.

This is really beautiful! Wonderful work.

Nice job! I like the limited and repeated number of colors and fabrics here, and love the sashing with the 9 patch corners.

I agree. I love this. Is there a pattern or did you wing it? I would love to make this. I just think it's super. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

Love the quilt, better than book as far as color choices and your border is great. I worried about sashing but you did such a great job. Thank you.

I just went by a pic on Pinterest. Blocks were 8 1/2 inches because I used telephone book pages. Sashing was 1 1/2 inch strips

Oh boy, if I had that I would double dare anyone to eat on it.ha,ha. I love it. It is beautiful. I love the colors and all of it.

beautiful pic nic quilt. I had made a kind sized churn dash when i was about 18. I got such dirty looks and a lot of if my mom saw what I did with her quilt, she'd kill me. Quilt police! Beautiful work on this one.

Jane Quilter 03-12-2017 06:22 PM

Now that is a beauty. I dont have that many of the same color scraps. Mine would look like an upside down trash can, But yours is a beauty. Congrats.

mucky 03-12-2017 06:48 PM

Perfect colours for a picnic quilt, love the sashings and borders too.

greaterexp 03-12-2017 07:31 PM

Wow! No one would suspect you used scraps! It looks so beautifully coordinated!

Jingle 03-12-2017 08:02 PM

I think it is totally beautiful. Red,white and blue are always good color choices to me.

Lilrain 03-12-2017 08:42 PM

Really like the way you have set your blocks. More work, but the end result is wonderful.

Claire123 03-12-2017 10:09 PM

Love the quilt! I think the sashing really adds a lot, also.

Thumbs up on this one!

Battle Axe 03-13-2017 02:40 AM

Thanks for sharing. I have a bunch of strips sewn up, but no where to go with them. That gives me an idea.

jmoore 03-13-2017 03:00 AM

Wonderful scrappy quilt. I like the sashing you added between the string blocks. Great job!

quilterpurpledog 03-13-2017 03:03 AM

I am not a fan of string quilts as a rule. However, this one is very unique and I like it very much. The way you used sashing and borders just sparkles. I have taken a picture of it for future reference.
