String Quilts Part 2



It's time for another batch of string quilts from the Jan/Feb Covered in Love block drive!  You all sent in over 1000 string blocks and several quilters have been working with me to get them all turned into quilts.

Assembled and quilted by Tammy S.

First, 2 quilts assembled and finished by Tammy S., she's done 3 so far and her quilting is beautiful! I especially love the heart layout she chose for the pink blocks.

These two quilts are made from shirtings blocks sent in by Christy G. and finished by Kathy C. I got a kick out of the fabric with the fish on it! Both got John Deere tractor fabric on the back, courtesy of Sandra.

The quilt below was also assembled and quilted by Kathy C. from donated blocks with blue tones.

The quilt is made mostly from blocks donated by Pat. I added a few to round it out and them quilted it with a stipple.

 I found the perfect backing for this one in my stash of donated yardage.


The last two quilts were assembles and quilted by me from assorted donated blocks.


This one got a rainbow binding, which looks pretty cool! Nicki sent me a roll of prepped white binding and I dyed it in a rainbow gradient.



Last one, for now! These 8 plus 13 before make 21 string quilts so far; there are twelve to go (I think).   Thanks to everyone who is helping to make these quilts :)


Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 300 so far! The Sept/Oct drive is a repeat of one of my old favorites, the grown-up eye-spy quilt.  Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

  6. Those are fantastic quilts. The string quilts seem to be very popular with your contributors & they are a great way to use up stash scraps. Thanks to all the helpers you have in getting these strings completed. I love the rainbow gradient binding you used. What a genius idea to dye the "boring" white binding I sent & make it into something really special.

  7. So sorry I missed the string quilt block drive! Oh, would I have been able to contribute to that! I'll see if I can whip up at least a block or two for your current drive. The strip quilts are so lovely and will be so loved!
