Since this quilt was made before I was blogging, I don't have many notes or pictures of the beginning. I know I started it in 2014 and the pattern was in a book called string quilt revival. I added it to the 5 quilt project in July 2024. It was in a project box, but it was ready to be quilted - happy surprise.
I really like string quilts and I know it was pieced on my people powered treadle machine while I was watching tv. I bet the early treadlers couldn't say that. I have a wonderful treadle that sews almost as fast as a powered machine. I haven't used it this year or pieced strings and I am missing it.
I liked the pattern because the picture used black and civil war fabrics. I didn't, and, I really like the bright contrast with black. And it is so nice to make use of the small bits.
