Girls in Pink
40 x 60
I have a large bag of pale strings I've been working from. Most of the strings are leftovers cut from the sides of quilt backings. I've been throwing strings in there for several years. I am working on a large String Star quilt from some of those strings. In the bottom of the bag I found a couple of large pieces of novelty fabric with little girls on it.
So I cut some 6.5 inch blocks for some wonky log cabin centers, used some of the strings from that large bag of pale strings, and turned them into a quilt. 
I pieced together some batting and found a piece of a solid pink sheet in my stash for backing.
I'm not sure if you can see it well enough in the photos but I quilted it with some free motion three-petaled flowers and loops on my DSM.
I actually had some leftover binding in different shades of solid pink. So that got used.
I'm getting a little better at binding on my DSM.

visiting from Can I get a Whoop Whoop. What a great quilt for a great cause
Darling finish! What sizes (widths) of batting strips do you save? Smaller than 10-12” wide?
This is so sweet! Love the fussy cut centers.
This is a beautiful donation quilt. Some little girl will really love it!
There you go again, pulling a beautiful quilt out of thin air!
It'll make a wonderful hug for a little girl.
What a sweet quilt for a great cause! You should link up to the new charity quilting linky on Kat's blog: https://katandcatquilts.blogspot.com/2017/01/sew-some-love-linkup.html It's called "Sew Some Love." I'll tell her she should add Wrap-a-Smile to her list of charities, too.
Yes, Cathy! Beautiful finish. Would love to have you link up to Sew Some Love, either last week's linkup or this coming Wednesday :)
What a sweet, girly quilt!
Love this sweet pink quilt! I don't know of any little girl who wouldn't cherish it. And best of all, you put it together with real scraps. Congrats on a beautiful finish!
Another beautiful quilt. I just cannot believe how quickly you create such gorgeous quilts. Love all the different blocks you make from scraps - very inspiring.
A very sweet quilt for a very good cause!!
