STRINGS AND A FINISH

I am participating in Lori's Stringalong (see humblequilts.blogspot.com).  I have been making string blocks for a while, so I had a stack almost ready to make into a quilt.  I did make quite a few this month to have enough to finish the string quilt top though.

Here are some patriotic string blocks that I will use on a round robin for my quilt guild.  These are 
5 1/2" unfinished blocks.


I have made several string quilts over the years to donate and this top is now finished and ready for quilting.  Once it is quilted (by me) I will donate it as well.




Here is it all put together.


This is another quilt top that I will be donating to Quilts for Cops.  Please check out this link and consider making a top for them - or a whole quilt.  You can also donate money so they can buy batting and backings for quilt tops that are made for them.  It is definitely a worthy cause.


I also finished (except for label, which is waiting on the ironing board) my Jungle quilted wall hanging (that my sister gave me for Christmas).  It will fit perfectly on my quilt rack near the front door.


Thanks for visiting!  I hope you have a nice weekend.

  2. I love those patriotic strippy blocks! I should try that sometime. Your rainbow strippy top turned out really pretty and will be much appreciated by whomever gets it I'm sure. Your jungle quilt is adorable! I love that bird perched on the elephant' trunk! :) I'm not making a "List", but I am hoping to do some planning and maybe a start on a block today for my new project. ---"Love"

  3. Your string quilt top is wonderful, I love the three-dimensional appearance it presents. Your sweet little Jungle wall hanging is wonderful too. The string-pieced border is a perfect frame!

  4. Your strings are great! Love the patriotic fabrics in the first one. The rainbow quilt will be so appreciated by whoever receives it. The HST quilt looks wonderful, too. Very masculine. Your jungle quilt turned out great, too. So pretty to explore what all is on there. Enjoy!

    You always find the best ways to use panels.
