Hi, I'm Lori in North Carolina and my blog is Talk is Cheap Quilts (http://talkischeapquilts.blogspot.com). I love scrap quilts and string quilts, Tonya's letters and ANYTHING Gwen Marston does.
Here is a lap quilt that I finished recently. I call it my Phone Book Quilt because I used phone book pages as my foundation (I find that I can sew straighter and faster with a foundation). Here is just the top:
And here's a picture of the finished product with cat inspection in progress.
Here's a close-up so you can see the quilting. I used a combination of tying and big stitch. Oops, there are still a few basting threads in this picture, too!
nice to see a star quilt. thanks for stringing along with us, Lori!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!
ReplyDeleteYour lovely quilt makes an especially good background the the quilt inspector's photo. :- )
ReplyDeleteNeat quilt, love the colors and your cat inspector is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking pattern for a string quilt! The gold/cheddar really looks nice also!
ReplyDeleteGreat design and love the green focus color.
ReplyDeleteO.k., I am finding too many really good ideas here. Will there be enough strings to do them all?
I am partial to greens and golds/yellows together so I really, really like your quilt! (and I always love seeing cats on quilts)
