While I was in Florida, I made the top for blue skies. I started this quilt in 2016 when Bonnie Hunter's string book was published. I made all the string blocks, and it became a ufo. Last year, I worked on it for the rainbow scrap challenge, but, when I opened the book and saw that I would need a gazillion small hsts, I decided to take what I had and run with it. I would have loved making the hsts back when I started it, but, not now. I feel like I have too many higher priority quilts I want to finish.
I even went to thrift stores for cotton shirts to add the borders. Now, it is finished and off the list.

ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully. Congrats on a finish. Sometimes the best solution is to have a finish even if it didn't follow the original plan.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish, Maggie. I love it. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool way to use string triangles.
ReplyDeleteBetter to have a finish I think than trying to make 100s more HSTs when you don't want to. Congrats on a beautiful finish! Love that binding. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
