Greetings everyone! For some reason, the window AC is not keeping me dry. I hate sweating. I always have. I am such a prima dona. I know I was born from royalty. Was I sent home with the wrong family? Aren't all babies born with black curly hair and high cheekbones?
Well, let's fast forward fifty (50) or so, years.
I have updated the photo for my string quilt #1. With a little help from my quilt guild friends, I was able to get a straighter, full view of this scrapbox beauty! LOL You can find the new photo here:

Today, I hope to concentrate on a plan for some seminole patchwork. I hope you all get to do something creative today.
I really like your use of black in the blocks and the sashing of this quilt. It really makes the colors sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katie. I was pleased with the choice of black also. It allows you to use ANY scrap in your bin and it still gets along with all the other strings.
ReplyDeleteI learned this tip from viewing photos in the HeartStrings group. The members share their works for charity.

I will be using this method of a common center diagonal strip with the joining sashes again. I will have to configure yardage & strip-cutting requirements for a few layout plans, so I have a 'blueprint' to work from. Anything to simplify my working plans. LOL
