Still Stringin' Along

Eight Tops Done!!

Here is my "Show and Tell" from my own personal quilt challenge to make as many string quilts that I could for one month. I started the day after Thanksgiving and ended it today. I got eight tops done, and have 3 quilted. They are going to be donated to kids in need charities. Thanks to all of you who sent me so many emails of encouragement and charities in which to donate them too.

I am still going to make more, because I can't stop!! There are so many color combinations that I want to do and so many charities that would love to have them. Please keep you comments and emails coming . I love hearing from each and everyone of you.

Watch for my exciting challenge. I am in the processing of organizing and setting up a great quilt-along. It is going to start in January. I am so excited.

  5. Great job, did you foundation piece? I just finished a scrap string quilt, no strips wider than 1.5"

  8. I like the color combos. I made a couple strip quilts before but had random colors, and I didn't like the way it turned out, way to scrappy. But these are nice! :) Did you use a foundation muslin piece or some such thing? or was this free random piecing.?

  10. Stacey, those quilts are gorgeous! I love the colors. Makes me wonder if I have enough strings to do the more controlled colors like that. The kids will adore and treasure those quilts!

  11. I love all the string quilts with co-ordinated colours. They look more planned than the scrappy I usually make. I'll have to give it a try.

  13. Those are very pretty quilts and the colors are so cheerful. The yellow & pink one reminds me of pink lemonade. Great job! Louise
