I like how it turned out and I think I will make another one somewhere down the road. I certainly have the scrap pieces for it.
The back has some of the same browns but in a floral print. I thought the fabric I choose worked well with the front and it is one piece. I usually love to piece the backs, but this on I decided against it. Can not wait to finish this one up and give it to the folks it was made for.
And because my string bins are overflowing..I pulled out all my pink strings and decided to make some string blocks using pink. I am really not so much a pink person but am amazed at the amount of pink I have and thought I'd try to clear some of that out of the bins.
These will trim out at 6 1/2 inches. There are 25 blocks in this stack so far and you'd think that would have used up a lot of strings out of my bin.....
...But these are the strings I STILL have after the 25 blocks above. I am not sure how many blocks I will make, but I see I can make several more and still most likely no use all of these pinks up.....tell me how does this happen?? Around here things seem to multiply instead of clearing out!!
Oh well...have a great sewing day if you are able to get in sewing in today!! It is cold here and I have lots to do, and maybe a little sewing!!
love the colors - a delightful quilt.

Beautiful string quilt! I'm sure your pink blocks will work for some little person. Beware! String replicate in the dark!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I wish I could get the quilting bug. The pink will be just as pretty. Can't wait to see more. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've got to make this some day. Need more colorful plaids like yours.
ReplyDeleteWow! That quilt is gorgeous! I love pink so those blocks look so delicious to me.
ReplyDeleteOh Suzanne, this is marvelous! You did a beautiful job with it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've drifted out of quilting for a long time...this might just pull me back! I really, really like your setting, with the little nine-patches and the great sashing. Thanks for great inspiration.

ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful; vibrant colors and layout!
ReplyDeleteLove love the colors!
ReplyDeleteStill my favorite string quilt EVER!! Lane
ReplyDeleteStunning! The string quilts always seem to have a bit of a 3D effect that is just fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne: I saw your link on Judy's blog and I was wondering if you would post pix of your string quilts over at our new group blog: http://stringthingalong.blogspot.com. I can send you an invitation to be an author. let me know.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your string quilt. I SO want to make one set like that....but I keep finding more and more that I want to make. LOL Keep sewing' on those pink strings. They're going to make a gorgeous quilt too. And, you know strings multiply in the dark at night, right? That's got to be the explanation for how the more you sew, the more there are.
ReplyDeleteIt came out very nice, that a lot of stringing to do since January. Imagine it is fun to look and some of the fabrics and remember what they were used for. Very nice finish.
ReplyDeleteyour string quilt is gorgeous!! I love that pattern and yours looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI really like this quilt! The nine-patches add such visual variety. And congratulations on all your Quiltville Yard Sale sales!
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like ALOT of work!!
ReplyDeleteOh Suzanne everything you do is fun and gorgeous! Love visiting you and the pretty treasures you hand make! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI love the sashing and corner stones. They really elevate this from the usual run of the mill string quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy friend just finished a couple of this in the same pattern, one scrappy and one Christmas scrappy. Seeing these sure makes me want to make one! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful string quilt. Then to give us a tease about the next one. You'd better keep us up on your progress, or you might have a revolt on your hands.
