When this blog started last year, I was overcome with envy that I didn't have the opportunity to jump in and start a string quilt immediately and sew along with the rest of you. Living in NM, my sewing activities are confined to my visits to San Diego, for reasons that are too complicated to explain.

Then, to the rescue, came Victoria's finished Christmas quilt from all the donated blocks. I loved her border, and took off on mine from there. The resulting top is 76" x 86". The backing is all pieced from scraps also, but I was too lazy to hang it to show you. I'm so tickled to finally be able to share it with all of you!

This is the most beautiful and colourful string quilt I have seen until now. I think it's because of the borders you added. Perfect!
