String Stars
86 x 98
A flimsy for now
This was my One Monthly Goal for June
I used a pattern from The Best of Fons and Porter: Scrap Quilts
I used my bright and long string scraps.
Most were strings cut from quilt backings.
From far away the fabrics kind of blend together. Up close you can see a variety of fun things - monster eyeballs, pirates, Santa and Rudolph, spiders...
...and Spider Man...and gingham. I love gingham.
Ah, the memories of quilts past!

Cathy, that is a beautiful quilt! It is so neat that you can take long pieces of all kinds of fabrics and make these beautiful stars! I love it!
Exquisite! I love the bright colors...
Beautiful flimsy!! I love that dark navy that sets it all off...great work hugs, Julierose
Wow, this looks great, Cathy! And it's big! I bet it will be a fun one to have on the bed. :D
This one is so full of color and scrappy goodness -- it truly glows!! WELL DONE!!!
Very effective use of bright colors against the somber navy! Love it!
Fabulous flimsy, good for you!
That's beautiful. You have inspired me to finally do something with my
scrappy long strings. Thanks for sharing.
This is gorgeous! I love how you used the same group of strings for each star. What fun.
So bright, so scrappy, and lots of blue this time. Another great top!
Such a beautiful quilt top...and I don't think I saw this coming...
My god that's gorgeous!
Wow! What a great pattern for strips, your top is stunning. Love the bright colors, esp the pink!
It's gorgeous! The colors truly sparkle against that dark background. Love it!
Usually scrap quilts do not attract me, but I must say, this one is really pretty. Maybe the bright colors do it for me, and I love that pattern too. ---"Love"
I adore this quilt! I know what I am making with my strings next. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
That is so unbelievably gorgeous! I love it when scraps make such a winner.
Wow! What an accomplishment, and so very gorgeous! Congratulations on getting it done. Curious to know, if you hadn't committed it to OMG, do you think it would be a finished flimsy? Have a wonderful day!
It's a fantastic scrappy quilt! You have such a great eye for putting things together that don't usually go together, and having it look amazing!
Congrats on this fantastic finish. I love how you regrouped some colours together to make all these different fabrics appealing to the eye. Great use of scraps too. Wonderful! Love it. ;^)
Beautiful finish! Love the brights with the black, it really glows.
Beautiful - the navy is the perfect choice to show off those fun blocks!
awesome....gorgeous quilt!
