I made this quilt from string scraps using a quilt as you go method, piecing the strings onto strips of batting. When I do QAYG I press the seams flat and top stitch them down to keep the bulk down (pictures of that here.)
Finished size was about 55" x 72". I found a cute backing with the right colors on sale at the LQS and bound it with a scrappy binding. With the strings QAYG to the batting the backing just needed a couple of horizontal lines to hold it in place.
This quilt is being donated to the hospital for Covered in Love. If you want to help out with Covered in Love it's not too late to contribute to this month's block drive, which incidentally also involves strings!
Linking to Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it Friday.
Great cause and great quilt! The backing is perfect for all of your pretty scraps!
