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!
