String Quilt Top #3



40 x 60

I say "inspired" because I make my blocks a different size (10.5 inches unfinished) and I use newspaper for the foundations not fabric.   But I have used a consistent 2 inch in width center string like the Heartstring quilts.  

This is the third string quilt to come out of the giant box of strings I started with a few weeks ago. 

I used some of the long strings with novelty prints. 

I should have been a little more careful about center string placement because it doesn't line up quite right in a couple of places. But I don't think most children would care if I didn't color inside the lines. There's a lot of other things to look at in the quilt than unmatched centers. It's a string quilt!!! 


 And on to the next!

Some child is just going to love this fun quilt! Never would have thought of white polka dotted orange, but it works terrific.

Great idea to use that red and white polka dot for the centre strip. Colourful and appealing quilt. Yes, another string flimsy bites the dust!

Looked at your top again, in natural light and realise the central strips are orange with white dots - not red as I thought last night when i was looking in the electric light!

Very cute, fun top. Some kid is going to love this. It looks like it could use borders though.
