Here and There



Introducing Here and There,
the finally-finished second string quilt from last year.




That's the Mississippi River in the background.

This is the other string quilt named Moving Right Along.

It was gifted to an expectant grandmother earlier this year.
(Her first granddaughter is due this month)

There are more strings in the near future!!

Love this string quilt... fun setting.
I walked across the Mississippi River in 1995. We visited it at the source (Lake Itaska) where it is only about 3 ft. wide. You can wade across it there. - One of my most bragged about accomplishments! - Lol
Hugs

Love your Here and There quilt and the setting beside the Mississippi, there is something special about scrappy string quilts, your Moving Right Along looks stunning set on the wall there.

Bright and pretty. I really like the effect of the black and white stripe ... :) Pat

They are both so delightful! The black & white center strip is a great choice.

Nice finish--I need to find my big girl bloomers and try a string quilt

This is really a pretty quilt. I love those "every once in a while" bubblegum pinks! I just love string quilts....hugs, Julierose

Both are so pretty!! I am going to copy your idea and photograph a quilt or two near the Mississippi River... but in MN instead of TN. I should have taken a quilt with me when I went to Itasca in June! (Hi, Terri.. glad you enjoyed walking across the source. I often take visitors there because it's so unique.)
