Wow, this is a really scrappy, busy quilt! I did an all-over loopy meander design. I tried to keep it simple since there is so much going on with the top. I was going to use a 101 Dalmatians bed sheet for the backing, but instead I used a really cute Raggedy Ann-Andy print that I found in my stash. It has a medical theme and the characters are dressed as doctors and nurses. I thought this’d be appropriate since I am donating this to Project Linus and the quilt will be going to the Loma Linda hospital.
That is wonderful!! I love the brightness!
ReplyDeleteHi Rita, I love your quilt. Busy is good. Especially for kids!! What kid wouldn't like that quilt? It's adorable. I am so glad you are participating with us in this String Thing challenge. Happy Quilting.

love the border...directions please. What size blocks did you use?
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! What a great quilt. Love the border.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I make alot of I Spy quilts ... now I can make a Spy String. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great string idea. I too have lots of strips left over from Eye Spy quilts. In fact I started digging through the scrap bag after I saw your quilt. Joanne H
ReplyDeleteFor mattsmom499: I made the border using strings left over from the blocks. I randomly sewed the strings together, maybe 4 or 5 at a time. Then I crosscut to create a strip that is 4.5 inches wide. This created a "pieced strip". I sewed these strips together until I had one strip long enough for the border. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteLove this variation of the string quilt. The red border followed by the string border makes this quilt pop. Stunning. (Louisa)
