This was another quilt I recently finished from making quilt blocks long ago that I had put away. I just needed to make a few more blocks and then put it together. I used polar fleece on the back and I sewed a green cotton binding on the quilt. I was thinking of adding an appliqué on this quilt, but when auditioning the appliqué that I had ready, it just looked too busy on this quilt, so decided no appliqué. This quilt measures 41" wide x 42" high. It's a nice size lap quilt for a child.

| I love making string quilts! It uses up fabric scraps and it's fun to make. Various ways to set the strings to give it a different look. These blocks are square, but if you saw my last 2 string quilts that I posted recently (the turquoise with appliqué bear and the gray string quilt), those quilt blocks were rectangle blocks and that gave it a different look. |
Happy scrappy quilting!

ReplyDeleteOne can't go wrong mixing blues and greens together and throw them into a string quilt and you have an even better combo!
