I think for sure this is in my future! Is the finished size of your blocks 10"? Thanks for your response!! Love love it the way it sparkles...

I love the serenity of all the blues together, surrounded by the bright leaders and enders. Beautiful work.
|
Quilt is adorable!

Gorgeous quilt!

Beautiful! This is my favorite string quilt!
|
Thank you for the links to the Bonnie Hunter info - for some reason they kept taking me to what looked like a website for an elementary school teacher! I gave up on the search for awhile until my quilting buddy pointed me into another direction.
|
Love the way you made this string quilt. Beautiful!
|
Sewnbyme4u - I was wondering... would you suggest that we start with “Adventures With Leaders and Enders” by Bonnie Hunter to learn the method?
I just could not get your beautiful, glowing quilt out of my mind last night! Another question... is this particular quilt “pattern” shown in any of Bonnie Hunter’s books - or was your actual version something you put together on your own? (If it is something of your own imagination, i’m sure that Bonnie Hunter would love to see it!) |

Very nice, love the depth it shows; looks so 3D...
|
That is a beautiful quilt!! Glad others asked about leaders and enders and then some nice folks posted a link to it.
Not sure if I will ever do one, but gladly dream about it. |
Beautiful quilt! Thank you for your how-to description. I went back to look at it again and finally "see" the pattern.
Thanks again! |
That is stunning! It's a great use of "controlled scrappy" and looks like it has lights shining from it. Beautiful!

Came late to this party and your photo has disappeared. Sure would like to see it as blue is one of my favorite colors and I have heaps of it in my stash.
|
Love the colors in this one

Thanks again! Thank you for the explanation. |
Wow, that is gorgeous!
|
Yes, thank you everybody!
|
Absolutely beautiful quilt!

So excited! Was determined to keep going back to your photo until i could finally * see *the actual block! Hey, i think i can do this now that i “get” the actual block (sometimes i just have to challenge myself to think outta the box)!
Thank you so much, sewnbyme4u! Now i’m * really * excited because doing your quilt in purples has been on my mind ever since you posted your gorgeous quilt in blues. I only hope mine will be half as successful as yours 😊 So, just to confirm... i am actually seeing a “string-pieced” type of block, right? If i am understanding it correctly, the “leaders and enders” strip is first up on the block applied diagonally - then all of your blues are applied either side of that center strip, working out to the edges on both sides. Then you square up? Do i have the right understanding of the concept now? If so, i gotta start working on those Leaders & Enders - although i might just have to subvert the intended plan there and commit myself to making Leaders & Enders * only * until i have enough to start the quilt! I know, my plan is kinda backwards 😊 (on the same order as “let’s have a quilt show so we can have vendors!”) but then if it accomplishes the intended purpose i will be happy! Glad there are no Quilt Police here! |

Glad there are no Quilt Police here! Look at my quilt once more.....so far you are off to the right start. Just some notes.....the squares are cut at 2 inches, I cut 1 inch strips of black and sewed them to both sides of the leader and ender strip. I also finished both ends of the block with black. The only measurements that are the same is the width of the center strip and the black strips that are on both sides. |
Very nice!
It glows! Kirsten |
This quilt is so lovely. You made great use of your scraps. :thumbup:
|
Thank you, sewnbyme4u... now that you mention it - i did miss a couple steps with the black strips and black blocks. Thank u for setting me straight! 😊
|
Very nice indeed.
|
This quilt looks like a glittering crystal.
|
Beautiful scrappy:):)
