This quilt was started in a class taught by Diane Rode Schneck and has a muslin foundation. Having made some string quilts with random fabric choices, I wanted to organize the colors this time.
It was hotter than blazes that July and all I could think of was cool watermelon colors. I did buy green yardage to complete the quilt but had reds to spare. The quilt is 92 inches square.
Red and green... There's a Dutch saying: "Rood en groen is boerenfatsoen", learning us that red and green don't match well, but your string quilt is absolutely stunning! Cheers,

Wonderful quilt! A planned string quilt is a great idea. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
Love those colours - stunning
Great idea for a quilt!
I have a thing about buttons. Wouldn't a lot of little black buttons look like seeds???
Thanks for posting this lovely, Ann. Good to have you here.
Just can't beat green & red. Love your string pattern in the border. Very nice!
Thanks for the warm welcome, y'all.
Lori, I never thought of buttons but they would be a perfect addition.
