Thanks--I'm going to give that a try. I love making string quilts, and I'm always looking for different ideas!

Oh My Goodness Izy!!! What a gorgeous string quilt it is so very cheerful spread out on the bed! There is not a dull moment within the design, I'm so very, very impressed!!! I'm not at all surprised that your partners Mother took a fancy to the quilt. Well done, well done!!!!

What a wonderful Ohio Star, your color selection is 'spot on' to my eye. I agree I love your binding strip how it pulls it all together. Another quilt inspiration by a talented member!

The back squares were cut at 8.5 inches. I intended to use 10 inches as I already have a stack of them but when I pulled out the stack, I found a bunch that were 8.5 and I wanted to use up as many as I could. I still have some left but the pile is definitely smaller.

If your pic will not attach, it's cause it's too large of a file probably. I've had to you photo shop to resize many of my pics in order for them to post.

Izy...If there was a grand prize award for a quilt..yours would definitely win it! What a fabulous job and lucky person who gets it. (I've forgotten now.) My only scrappy contribution is that I am working on Bonnie Hunter's Leader/Ender project- Lozenges. I think I have about half of the ones made that I need so will be several more months to go for me.
