Here is my decision...I ordered this from the same Barefoot Roses Collection, I just received it and it did what I hoped it would. I think it defines it without overwhelming my blocks..thank you for the priceless help I received, wow, what a group!!!

Just do a search on the tutorials for Ditter's String Quilt. I am making it the same way.

I made my grandson's civil war quilt the same way but I machine sewed the front strips down, with this one I am going to hand sew them down.

Every block I made got easier and easier until I could make a row in a day!!!

Oh my; a tiny stripe! I would never have come up with that idea. Please do post a photo of the completed quilt. I bet it is going to look out of this world.

Whatever the background you have the blocks on even looks good. It would be unobtrusive and would let the blocks stand out. What beautiful fabrics you chose!

I would use a dark color as suggested a burgundy, deep shade of rose or dark blues and the same color in the inside border of the quilt.

Ooooh, I like that skinny stripe! What a great idea. It doesn't take away or compete with all the other prints, but compliments them - good choice. Yes, please show a picture of more of it when you get it put together.

My first thought is the blue polka dot. Can't wait to see what you chose. Be sure to post pictures of the finished quilt.

I love that little stripe. Would have never thought of that. I usually have to cut a bunch of strips and try them out.
