A String Quilt Finish

It's a finish! 

String Quilt

40 x 50


I made this one with lots of novelty strings. 

I made 10.5 inch blocks using a paper foundation. 


Quite awhile ago someone gave me some 2 inch width strips with teddy bears. I set those aside for the centers of a string quilt. I had almost enough for these 20 blocks. I had to use a different fabric for two blocks. 



I quilted it with swirls. 



The backing is an aqua with gold swirls. 

And I can't believe I actually started and finished something in the same month!

And sew on...

Congratulation on the great start and an awesome finish in the same month! Whoowhoo! Do you use paper to sew the strings? Lots of people do and I'm having a hard time figuring out why. Enjoy! ;^)
