This week's finishes are twin string quilts. Mina sent in a big ol' stack of string blocks and Kathy was so wonderful, she assembled and quilted them over the summer!
I like how Kathy made two different designs with the string blocks. As I was taking these photos I found some cute surprises in the fabrics.
Like those fish, above! Someone is going to get a kick out of those fish, I just know it. I visited with Chaplain Perry the other day and noticed he only had one string quilt left from last year's batch. He admitted these are some of his favorites.

As Louise said in
her post, scrap quilts really are special because they give people so much to look at and to connect to.

The gift of a smile at a really dark time is one of the very best things you can give someone, and something I really hope we're able to do with our quilts.

My but those quilts are fantastic. It's amazing the different looks you can get by different block settings and quilting patterns. Thanks for the quilting eye candy! Andrea
ReplyDeleteWow, these turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThey are like I-spy quilts. They will be fun for the recipient to look at over and over.
ReplyDeleteLove all that yummy, scrappy goodness from Mina! And Kathy did a great job making it all full of warmth and texture. Ramona is right, they are like I-spys (I-spy's? I-spies? or perhaps I's-spy?)
ReplyDeleteThey are so cool! I never thought of scrappy quilts that way before, but it is true! I will be sure to add some novelty fabrics to my future scrappy ones.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those String Quilts!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking quilts. These will surely bring comfort to two families.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are great and I love the way you secured them with the logs! So innovative. Looking for unusual prints in the string quilts is half the fun, right?
