I have goal #4 done for the first quarter goal at FAL. You can see all my goals here that I listed for the first quarter of 2016.
I chose to sew strings from my stash to a muslin base for this quilt. I started these blocks way over a year ago, maybe more than 2! I only had to piece 4 of them to get it finished when I picked it up again and that was sometime early 2015. So then it moved onto the 'to be quilted' pile until now. It feels great to have it ready to donate. Some of my latest donation ones will be split between a nursing home and Project Linus. One would think my string stash would be depleted by now with all that I have been showing you, but NO they are not.

ReplyDeleteI love String quilts and yours is beautiful Congrats for a great finish! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting just pops with this quilt. It's beautiful. The blue running through the quilt really kicked it up a notch. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt will brighten someone's day. Great donation quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow...you are really racing through your projects. I love a good string quilt...have one with black stripes which just about smacks you in the face with that riot of colour. Tempted to do another one as my scraps are overflowing but need to get through all the other WIPs first..or maybe not!
ReplyDeleteThat blue is the perfect sashing; and you are right about the red binding.
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the red fabric for the binding. It brightens it up. And your quilting design looks really neat.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish - that quilting gives it such a lovely texture! Thank you for participating in the 2016 FAL, on behalf of the global 2016 FAL leaders :o)
