It's a Finish! More Pink/White Strings


Pink and White Strings
40 x 60

Ready for giving or gifting



This is another one that came from the pink and white string box.  The polka dot centers weren't scraps but I wanted a consistent center to tie the blocks together.  I used newspaper as a foundation and made 10 inch blocks. 

 Now the rest of the pink and white strings are mixed in with some other low volume strings for string heart blocks. 
 I quilted it on my DSM with spirals in pink thread. The batting was pieced together from leftovers. 

The backing was pieced with some pink quilt back trimmings that were too wide for the string box. Sometimes I use these wider pieces for bindings or cut them into the sizes of scraps I keep but I saw a bunch of wide pink ones and threw them into a pile last year thinking they would make a nice donation quilt back. And so they do.

Gorgeous. The pink polka dot strip at the centre of each block is perfect. I agree with Sandy - definitely strawberry ice cream!

Pink + Polka Dots! What's not to love?

Good forethought to use that pink polka dot as a uniform center string. It really makes the blocks stand out.

Another wonderful finish and it was a great way to use up those strings!

Another lovely quilt. Now that I see your photos I think pink and white should always be photographed in the snow.
