Here is a string quilt I made using quilt-as-you-go technique. I used black and white strips with some occasional red. Each block has a different red in the star points.

Annette's String Quilt

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

Another Fracture

This measures 45" square. I made it as a donation quilt. I quilted it on my Janome.

Yellow and White Strings

I finished this baby quilt while visiting Boston. Quilted on my daughter's featherweight.

Yellow and white string baby quilt

At New Year's I sewed all my string scraps into 8.5" blocks by color. These are all the yellows and most of the white. Edit: The quilt finished about 41" square.

Playing around with strings.

Hi all!  I've been crazy/busy with travel/teaching and an on-line class that is now finished.

But thought I'd poke my head in and share this with you before I finish packing and leaving for another week of teaching.  Waaahhhh -- I want more time in my studio to play!! Too many ideas coming from "what if?" and not enough hours to try them out!

warm regards to all of you.

Really big strings

I made dozens of string blocks last fall and winter

for a group string project in my group.

The requirements were piecing bright strings with no blacks

onto an 8.5 inch foundation, 

with a 1.5 inch white strip at the centre.

Together we made lots of blocks

enough for a 96 inch square quilt.

The woman who collected blocks put the together in groups of 16

and made a nine-patch with a dark green border and binding.

She quilted a loopy meander all over the quilt

and you can see the quilting better on the back,

which has a sunflower theme.

This was a great quilt to use up lots of narrow strings.

Most of my bits were 1 to 1.5 inches wide.

Red and Black Strings

Carla showed us her string quilt at a recent PTQ meeting.

Blah to bright

Promarkers to the rescue:)

Strings for QOV

These are the first four 12.5" string blocks

for a quilt top that will be donated to Quilts of Valor.

These are being pieced onto thin muslin.

One consistent 1.5" red string

plus a variety of scrappy blue strings

form the center for each block.

Thirty-five blocks will use up a LOT of scrappy 

white-on-black and black-on-white strings.

The goal is a layout five blocks wide

by seven blocks long.

LOVE the way these look together!
