Happy Friday, Quilters! This week I have five more string quilts to show off. These were sent in during the Jan 2022 string quilt drive. All 5 of these were donated as completed tops and Linda quilted them beautifully on her long arm.
These first 2 quilts with the black sashing were sent in by Beth T. and Linda used awesome custom quilting on them.
The quilts are complimentary but beautifully different. The second quilt with the white thread has different quilted pantos in each string square.
I couldn't get pictures of everything, but I tried to get some good ones.
Next, Tish sent in this top with a much more controlled color palette. I love how different the same block can look, and aqua and red are a great color combination.
I also finally got to use this great, cute animal backing someone donated!
Beth and Holly are real-life neighbors and friends and often sew together. Holly sent in this pretty string top with lots of saturated tones.
Linda chose a cool panto with interlocking flowers to show it off.
Speaking of more controlled color schemes, Elana sent in this beauty. It's super scrappy and bright.
Linda quilted chains of feathers down the colored strips. Thank you to Elana, Tish, Holly, Beth, and quilter Linda! You guys keep us going.
Fudge has recently developed an annoying habit of blocking my machine while I'm sewing in order to get my attention. It's a good thing he's so darn cute.
I had to break out the big guns to keep his little paws away from the needle. No kitty can resist a box!

Oh my goodness! What a fabulous group of quilts! Hard to believe they are all the same block, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful!!!!!! String quilts are just the best!!!!! Thanks Ladies, you did an amazing job!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the funniest "cat interfering with sewing" photo I have seen so far. Talk about fully committed! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, that photo of Fudge reclining in your machine is a stitch! (haha). And the sleeping cats in the box are adorable. Great string quilts. Arranging the layout of that last one must have been a challenge.

Glad to see that CiL is still going strong! I had sent blocks for quilts a few years ago and need to participate again. That picture of Fudge rolling through the harp of your machine is hilarious!!
