Granny's String Quilt

 I think it was early February when I first posted the box of strings and a partial quilt top I had from my mother-in-law who had passed away ten years ago. As you can see above, the strings and blocks are now a completed quilt!! Yeah! I did a 'floating border' with details on my blog, still using more of the strings. I did have to add a few fabrics to make it come out to a nice size.

 I took all the blocks apart, added more with her fabrics and mine and there were some of her blocks that were not quite large enough so they became backart.

This is the back. The yellow fabric was also in the box so I put it to good use. This quilt was a pleasure to complete and I had special memories of my mother-in-law as I sewed. She would love the final product as pastels were her favorite! For more photos, you can view them on my blog.
