I have a fun quilt finish. I saw this quilt awhile ago on Bonnie Hunter's site as she was working on it. At the time she called it crazy town.
I had a basket or two of strings, and it looked fun. I had the blocks ready to go soon enough. I called it lightening. I had the top ready, but, didn't finish it to see what Bonnie was going to do with it.

I began in the Spring of 2019 and it is 72 x 80. I used a blue sheet for the backing and a scrappy binding. I did a free form bubble design for the quilting.
When it came up again on her blog, she had changed the name and the layout to shattered. I stuck with what I had. It has finally taken a turn on the longarm. I am glad to have this finished and off the list.

ReplyDeleteThat is crazy!!! LOVE it - it has so much motion and color!!!
ReplyDeleteI rarely go to Bonnie's blog so missed this fun string quilt. Congrats on the finish and I'll have to remember free form bubble quilting and give it a try.
ReplyDeleteFull of energy!
ReplyDeleteYour Lightning string quilt looks so fabulous! It definitely sizzles with electricity. I love it. Thanks for linking up with me for TGIFF this week!
ReplyDeleteI have a box of string blocks intended for stars but this looks fun too! I may have to change directions... again!
ReplyDeleteStay safe and sew on !
Wow, great Lightening!!! So you just randomly placed yours? And it looks like you mainly used black center strips, but not always. I have a big basket full of leftover strips I need to get to work on!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt may not be EXACTLY like Bonnie's, but it doesn't NEED to be! It's a great use of your scrappy strings, Maggie. I think it's AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another great finish! I just love those scrappy strings!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Maggie! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
