judy5cents...thanks for the photos of those beautiful quilts. I'm working on a string quilt for a baby.....You've given me some alternate layouts to consider if it isn't big enough. Or, I might be able to make 2 out of what I have! Thanks for the inspiration!

Lovely quilts. I can't think of a better place to take them. When you are in the hospital, you need all the love you can get. And what says "love' better than a handmade quilt. Great job.
I also enjoy doing string quilts. So relaxing and no instructions to follow.

The last quilt was one that I saw on someone's blog and I have not seen it anywhere else. She did hers with more colors but in the same style with each row one color. Thanks for the comments, I am now the string person at my guild. It's a win-win for me as I love to piece the tops and we have a husband of a guild member who does the long arming. I get the quilts back to bind and they go to the community quilt committee for distribution.

These are all wonderful, and they will be greatly appreciated by the recipients. I especially like the last one. At first I didn't realize that the background was string pieced, because the colors of fabric were so close. That black center string really sets off the colors. Great job!
