This quilt just sort of happened. I began the year with overflowing scrap bins so I started making string blocks to empty out the bins. This quilt is 82"X99" and the scrap bins still aren't empty. If you're interested in making a string quilt, there is a great tutorial here!
Below is a close up of the details and a photo of the backing fabric. The quilt was quilted with straight-ish lines on either side of all of the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal seams.
About the same time that I started into the string quilt, a quilt along for the Scrappy Trip Around the World quilt began to pop up on Instagram. I couldn't resist so I jumped into two projects at once. If you are on Instagram there are over 4000 photos of these quilts inspired by the quilt along. Search for #scrappytripalong.

I've been following your progress on IG and I'm in love with your strings quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love your string quilt! I recently made one in rainbow order too and I was thinking something black and white for the backing. I guess great minds think alike, eh?
