One of the months, we were to use multi-colored scraps. Because I wanted to stick with single colors in my Rainbow quilt, I used that month to create this quilt which I called Stringing Beads.
Instructions |
During the month when we were to use neutrals, I worked on a couple of other projects. (I had used neutral strings each month in my rainbow-colored blocks.) One was my leader/ender project, and the other was a string quilt (as yet unfinished) which I call Boxes of Strings. I'll post instructions for it when I finish!

What a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to make as well! Can't say that it made much of a dent in my scraps, though. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteI'm impressed with your Boxes of Strings. Aren't you glad you aren't a recipient of my scraps? Thumbs up!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy. I have an ABUNDANCE of scraps without any help! :) Thanks for visiting.
DeleteBeautiful quilts! Love your last year scrappy project
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thanks, too, for visiting.
DeleteGreat job getting the string quilt all done.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSo many beautiful string quilts. It is hard to figure out which one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAll your string projects are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gayle.
DeleteWhat beautiful quilts! I really love the first one best, though. You sure get a lot done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie--I really enjoy it.
DeleteCongrats! on your TWO newly completed RSC quilts. Looking forward to seeing Boxes of Strings completed, as well!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteYour stripy rainbow turned out so nice. I've never seen the Stringing Beads block or the last one before. Both of them are striking, especially with the dark red as well as the black contrasts. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paula. Those two are my own designs. Thank you for visiting.
DeleteGreat finish on your 2017 RSC quilt! And your other additional string projects look amazing! Using strings for a 3-D box block was an inspired idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm anxious to get it finished.
DeleteFabulous quilts! You must be delighted with your finishes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Finishing is good! :)
DeleteWonderful finishes!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellen.
DeleteI must be the only person in the world that has not done a string quilt yet. Yours are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the pictures, it is always great fun to see what others are doing.
They are fun--and kind of addictive!
DeleteSuch fun scrappy and beautiful quilts. I love the idea of a strip quilt that has lots of solid areas. It creates an entirely different design that is very modern.
