String Quilt

This has to be my most favorite quilt I have made to date.  I used up so much of my scraps using this String Quilt Tutorial.  I loved how she color-blocked the pattern and it has so much character and design.  When I look at this quilt I can see the fabric from so many past projects and remember what I have made.  This quilt took quite a bit of time, probably a year, but it was well worth it.  I have had it back from the quilter for a month but couldn't decide on fabric to bind it.  About a week ago, I was fabric shopping with a friend and she told me about yellow.  She had read in a quilting magazine that yellow goes with everything.  I thought "PERFECT!" that is what I need to tie all these colors together.

  9. You really are a major quilting inspiration for me! But how in the world do you finish them so quickly? I'm still primarily a garment sewer. I only work on my quilts occasionally. But, I'm alway inspired by your quilts.

  13. Normally quilts don't really do it for me. I think they are lovely but I have never been inspired to make one as they look so time consuming . I could really see myself loving loving yours however. One day I will make one of these it's beautiful. I love the white against the colours.
