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.

Thanks. I found I had tons of scraps in these fabrics and that is why I did it...didn't put much of a dent in those scraps lol

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

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!

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.
