This one is a simple arrangement of string blocks and alternating white/beige HSTs that create furrows across the quilt.
I pieced the back from scrap 5" squares, and I used the trimmings from the back to make the binding.
I love the look of the scrappy binding, but with all those seams (thick!thick!thick!), it took me quite a while to hand sew it down to the back!
I love all the things you can find in a scrappy quilt.

I'm still sewing lots of string blocks, so there will be more string quilts to come!

Love all the colors and that fox is cute peeking out 😀

ReplyDeleteNice quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl.
DeleteI really like this quilt, especially the way that the diagonals of the HST blocks run at right angles to the strings. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI looked at both ways of arranging them, but I felt like everything was running towards the corner with them at the same angle. This felt more stable.

Wonderful string quilt! I need me to do one of these soon! It's on the list! The back and binding are ambitious!
ReplyDeleteThank you!

I really like the way you alternated the string blocks with the HST blocks. With the beige and white alternating it gives a nice secondary pattern. Love that you made it reversible with the patches on the back.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie!
