Heartstrings Quilt Project is having a New Year's Weekend Sew Along - make Heartstring quilts with purple centers. I don't have much purple in my stash and the strings I do have in purple I'm saving for an adult sized quilt to make and send to the Hospice where my mother died. During my mom's stay in hospice she kept remarking how she loved the purple quilts that covered her.
I did manage to find enough purple polka dot fabric in my stash to use for centers and a small border. I didn't have many long strings left either since I've used most of them on other Heartstring blocks (green centers and gray centers). So, for the rest of the weekend I will try to finish those two even tho' they don't have purple centers.
I free motion quilted spirals on my plain old sewing machine. The backing is a purple stripe. And now biggest pieces of purple are gone.

Love your string quilt. I just did a very small one to use as a pieced background for some beading. I hope to use up some 30's repo fabric and make a bed-sized one this year.
I love string quilts! This one is so bright and happy, that I must move it up on my to-do list. You amaze me with how much you get accomplished, Cathy. Have a wonderful New Year.
Your string quilt is wonderful and the quilting is so fun to go with it! Congrats on getting your purple strings into a quilt so fast!
