I just put this
Sea Stars string quilt
out on my dining table
for the warmer weather...
this was
Such a fun quilt to make...
[kudos to my DH who
is the quilt holder
for me!!]
Here are my Early Spring
blocks that I am presently
working on...
Nothing has seemed to be going well
with my quilt projects lately
So, when all else fails...
Go To The Strings...
👵
any which way up
on my design wall...
as I make them...
I began them when I was trying to follow
Ann's "Fret Not Yourself" [blogspot]
quilt along for string tulips and
string blocks--
BUT...
The Tulips did not want to come out for me...
😥
So, instead--
I am continuing with these
early spring colored blocks
to use up my low volume
strings...
I have 12 more to make and am
totally enjoying this journey

We are having a spate of gorgeous weather
here and despite my allergies
I am able to sit out a bit...
I hope this finds you enjoying Springtime

Your string blocks and star string quilt are all so petty! The new pale blocks are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour low volume string blocks are really pretty. I always like an easy project I can pick up when nothing else is screaming for priority.
ReplyDeleteThe Sea Stars quilt is beautiful! I love all the blues in it. The pretty, soft Spring colors you're working with now look perfect for the season!
ReplyDeleteStrings are fun. Yours look great. We grilled out last night. Ribeyes and summer squash, peppers and onions.yum
ReplyDeleteI love your string blocks!
ReplyDeleteString blocks are marvelous - never mind about the tulips!
ReplyDeleteI love the string blocks - so pretty! As for allergies - I've heard a number of people saying online that they're finding their allergies are much better while they've been using masks. Might be worth a try?
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts - I have yet to see a string quilt I didn't like and admire.
ReplyDeleteThey're both great! I really like the randomness of the second one. String blocks are really great for that and it's so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying gorgeous autumn weather here. It will be fun to see what your new strings turn into.
ReplyDeleteLove the string blocks as well as your string quilt! Beautiful work! Doesn't it feel like summer???
ReplyDeleteI love your Sea Stars quilt, and like you, I go to my strings when all else fails! xo
ReplyDeleteChoosing a coordinated and limited palette of scraps has made this a beauty. Such a change from random selection from the scrap bag. So sophisticated. I can’t wait to see the finished top.
ReplyDeleteI really like the pastel colors of the blocks you're working on now. There are just so many ways to use strings! Lovely Sea Stars quilt.
ReplyDeleteSpring-coloured strings are lovely, even without tulips. Sometimes it's best to do what feels right and not force things.
ReplyDeletewhat a great string star quilt!
ReplyDeletethe soft palate is pretty too.
