String Quilt
This has to be my most favorite quilt I have made to date. I used up so much of my scraps using this String Quilt Tutorial. I loved how she color-blocked the pattern and it has so much character and design. When I look at this quilt I can see the fabric from so many past projects and remember what I have made. This quilt took quite a bit of time, probably a year, but it was well worth it. I have had it back from the quilter for a month but couldn't decide on fabric to bind it. About a week ago, I was fabric shopping with a friend and she told me about yellow. She had read in a quilting magazine that yellow goes with everything. I thought "PERFECT!" that is what I need to tie all these colors together.

ReplyDeleteNormally i don't like quilting, but this looks yammy! Have you used only quilting fabric or fashion fabric too?
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quilt! The colours are zingy and fresh and still well balanced and soothing. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a modern take on the Log Cabin Block. It's wonderful no wonder it's your favorite.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYou really are a major quilting inspiration for me! But how in the world do you finish them so quickly? I'm still primarily a garment sewer. I only work on my quilts occasionally. But, I'm alway inspired by your quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt, Lori! I like how each block is one colorway. And the yellow binding is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat is a most wonderful quilt! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh Lori!! It's so beautiful! Thank you for letting me know about it, it's just lovely!
ReplyDeleteNormally quilts don't really do it for me. I think they are lovely but I have never been inspired to make one as they look so time consuming . I could really see myself loving loving yours however. One day I will make one of these it's beautiful. I love the white against the colours.
