String quilts 13-15 are ready for their debut! I have put together all of these and really enjoyed working with all the different color combinations and blocks. I really like this yellow/brown/red color fade, even though I did sort of lose the plot on that upper right corner.
Blue and brown, always a classic combination. These are from the Jan/Feb string block drive. To see a tutorial of how I put them together there's a post here.
These pretty pink/yellow/green/blue blocks went together really well and I used some of my leftover pink and blue dyed binding to finish it.
Lastly, this black and red quilt had a dye-bleeding catastrophe in the wash from some of the red backings. It was far more than a color catcher or three could handle. After soaking in Dawn, washing in Syntrapol, etc. I think I revived it. Fortunately since the squares are black and red neither one shows some pink too noticeably.
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 800 so far! The September/October drive is running now, check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job in putting all those blocks together in a beautiful, cohesive way to make such great quilts. I love the black & red quilt & sorry that it gave you problems with the red fading but I think it turned out fantastic.
