In January I decided to try to make a string (type) Block a day... and hopefully use up some of my stash!!!
The pile has gotten rather large - so I decided that maybe it was time to make a top or two and see what I could do!
We all know that I have a plethora of Red, Whites and Blues... so Ta da!!
This is the first top I started on! If you remember.... I made one called Inspired by Cynthia ( Click here for the full story) and I just kept going with this style - so why not try it again with the blocks I have finished!!!
This is fully Topped and on my table while I find a backing for it....
Every time I think I am making a dent in my string bin... I trim a new quilt and BAM!! Its full again... I see more stringing in the next week....
Happy Monday!!!

Great string quilts!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of strings! That chevron print that shows up in the RWB one gives it a fun little something extra. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and yet both quilts are so different!
ReplyDeleteIt's so relaxing when sewing strings. Love the way you used the different colours.

I'm not surprised at all to hear that you have a plethora of red, white, and blue strings. And hooray for having 2 string quilts pieced and even having the backing for the teal one ready to go. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteyea alycia, that red white and blue string quilt is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThose darn strings multiply faster than rabbits I think!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous string quilts, Alycia!!! I know all about that phenomenon: empty a string bin, cut a new quilt, fill the string bin!!! It's a real thing! Keep on making sting quilts!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like your quilts. I'll have to remember these when I sort through my scraps. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTwo great quilt tops.
ReplyDeleteSomething we will never be short of is scraps and strings.
String quilts are an all time favourite of mine so It's great to see the two here. The setting of the first one is very effective and as teals/aquas are special colours for me I love this one!
ReplyDeleteThey really do multiple quickly but you are making great use of them.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! I really like the variety of strings in the R-W-B top. Great layout, too. Love the teals, one of my favorite colors. Can't wait to see your Hawaiian print backing for it. Sounds like strings are never ending since every quilt generates more.
