I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

"Critter Comfort" - DONE
The back is as attractive as the front - just goes to show - use that old fabric you've been saving and put it on the back. I was concerned I'd have "wrong" fabrics next to other "wrong" fabrics. Nope - it's all just fine and dandy! The narrow "sashing" adds appeal - again, I used a variety - makes things interesting! The quilt binding is black with a tiny lime green flange, sewn down on the front. I found it impossible to keep my stitches from showing in a wrong place on the back. Half showed on the black binding, half on the backing - was unable to sew consistantly. Perhaps a slightly wider binding? Sharpies can be used for many things. 8-)

ReplyDeleteTerrific finish! You're to be congratulated.
ReplyDeleteHey, yes! This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what you can do with random bits of this and that. You've created a real winner!
I so love this quilt! Strings rule, and the quilt as you go method is just fun and fast!
ReplyDeleteI just love this project! Would you mind my asking what size blocks you used in this quilt. It just appears so balanced. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice finish. String type quilts always have a cute touch of whimsy when adding novelty fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love string quilts! They make great donation quilts and I usually make a couple each year, but I don't quilt as I go. Do you think it saves time doing it the way you did? I might want to change my system.
