It's A Finish!

String Quilt
51 x 68

It's a finish!


I used a tutorial from Crazy Mom Quilts.

I finished the top in October 2021. It was one of several different string quilts I made with a big box of strings. (And I think it is time that I repeat the process. The string box is overflowing once again.)

This used a lot of background fabric and not many strings so although I do love the quilt I doubt I will make this one again. It did not really use up many strings.    

I quilted it with red thread spirals on my DSM. 

The binding is a solid green that's been around for awhile. And the best thing about it is that there was enough of it to go around with a little to spare. 

The back.

And now it is ready for gifting or giving. 

And sew on...

    You make the most colorful quilts. I'm trying to change from my boring quilts and am using your quilts as inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

    Amanda Jean has the most amazing library of quilts on her old blog. I hope she never takes it off the internet. I love your version!

    I love the red alternate block fabric. I have a little of it in couple colors and it has been in a few of my quilts.

    I really like that design. It's an interesting layout for a string quilt I haven't seen before.

    Oh my goodness - I LOVE this quilt. Your choice of the red and green fabrics that are the constants throughout the quilt are fantastic. If I had made one like this I would be making it over and over again! Love the backing too.

    I love that colorful backing. I need to tackle the string box(es), too.

    I’ve just made this pattern too! Mine is currently at my long arm quilter, but I’ll show it in January after it’s been gifted. Yes, I agree, it doesn’t really use up many scraps. Probably because the centre squares are so big. But it was a quick make for me for a quilt that going to be gifted to a relative. Your version is very nice.

    I love how you used the fabric in the large squares - it is so awesome and you had NO trouble letting it sparkle with the strings.

    You put a great tweak on string quilts. The red blocks add pizzaz and mystery. It does sparkle.

    Such a fun string quilt. The background squares almost hide that it is a string quilt
