Pink and Teal String Quilt

I have finally finished this charity quilt that's been long in the making. I really enjoy the "string" process.

String Quilt Gift for Habitat for Humanity

Our Possum Town Quilt Guild from Columbus, MS was finally able to gift the latest habitat house quilt recipient. She seemed very pleased and was going to put it on her bed as soon as she got home.

You can see us working on this quilt here and here.

Making String Blocks at Magnolia Sewing Circle

Our Magnolia Sewing Circle made string blocks this week.

This is the table with all the fun activity.

Annette's String Quilt

My friend Annette made this string quilt using the 'quilt as you go' method to piece it together.

Greenwood Mennonite -- String Quilt

Each of these girls helped make the string blocks on this quilt. It will be donated to the Greenwood Mennonite School Festival on Nov. 7, 2015.

Annette's String Quilt

This beautiful scrappy string quilt was made by Annette. Notice how she changed the center strings of each block from orange to golden yellow for the border blocks.

Red and Green Strings in Rectangular Blocks

I prepared a red and green string quilt as a project for our Possum Town Quilters.
Using an old algebra book for foundations we placed a yellow strip diagonally in each block with
red on one side and green on the other side.

Magnolia Sewing Circle Makes String Quilts

At our annual Magnolia Guest Day Sewing I helped with the ‘string quilt’ project. We started this quilt last year. You can read about it HERE.

Alma, Tressa, and Pat

Some of the blocks ended up smaller, so we decided to make two separate quilts.

Thelma made 4 string blocks at home for the beginning of another “String quilt.” The same 4 blocks look different depending which color you turn toward the center.

   

Magnolia Sewing Circle Makes String Quilt Blocks

At our Magnolia Sewing Circle today I was in charge of this group of ladies making string blocks for a comforter top.

By the end of the day their 38 blocks made quite a show.

Mother's Four Square Quilt

Mother has stuck with her string quilt and sewed and sewed. And now she already has it finished. We thought she was making this for charity; but recently I got to thinking that here she made this quilt when she is 87 years old, and I think  it needs to stay in the family as an heirloom. So she said I could have it. How about that?

Mother Makes a String Quilt

 

I haven’t done much with my projects that were on my design wall since last week. But look at what Mother has done. She has started making a crib size string quilt from some red and blue strips that I had left over from a string quilt.

 

I can tell she is enjoying it so much. She just keeps humming & whistling at the same time, something that she does when she’s happy. A lot of my sister’s and I have inherited the same whistle/hum when we sew. It makes for a pleasant atmosphere.
