Happy weekend! I finished two scrappy quilts for Covered in Love this week. These were pieced by me back in late April during a fit of scrappy productivity using 1.5" string scraps.
I made a tutorial for these blocks and it has become pretty popular on Pinterest. I wish I knew if any one has actually made their own version!
Basically I sewed together skinny strings to make panels of warm, cool, and neutral fabric, then made HSTs from them.
I had a whole lot more blue/cool colored strings than neutral or warm, so I made one cool/neutral quilt and one hot/cold.
They each measure 60" square and I stippled them densely. I hope the finished quilts live up to the promise of the tops!
Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a great weekend.
Covered in Love donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 300 so far! Our block drives are back on track and July/August is the annual "Oh My Stars!" drive. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts, Kat! So much scrappy goodness with the added bonus of a great color structure. Now I want to make a hot-n-cold quilt, too :)

ReplyDeleteOh WOW! Those are really pretty & unique. I love the hot/cold one with it's different design. You really know how to arrange blocks to make them special in a quilt. When do you sleep? :)
