I've been collecting what most would say are fabrics that you just wouldn't buy for your stash. I love these strange fabrics such as pebbles, bricks, tree bark, wood panels and so on. So if you're wondering what to do with some of those difficult fabrics, never fear, put them in a string quilt.
Here's a string quilt that I made from some of them. I dressed up the borders with a little applique. This is one of my favorite quilts. It measures roughly 54 inches square.

Beautiful! I love the applique border!
fun way to use those fabrics.
I can see why you like this one -- it has special meaning to you for many reasons.
I love this one! I'd always considered collecting these for landscape quilts but I like them just as much here. And the applique adds the perfect extra touch!
Thanks everyone!!
Now see, that's pretty! You need to show that picture to your co-worker Brenda. ;- )
I love the way you've used those. I just bought a few of those types of fabrics - because they make me feel good - but have been struggling to find a way to use them.....you've given me ideas galore.
Gosh, that is beautiful!
I love everything about this quilt.
