| Blue Diamonds Quilt of Valor 55 x 68 |
Blue Diamonds' string blocks were a great way for me to use odd bits of fabric - strings of various widths and lengths, remaining from the Quilts of Valor made for the 2012 Challenge.
Update: The strings were sewn on pages from an old phonebook and then squared to 10 inches. The blocks are 9.5 inches, finished.
How pretty!! You know I love those strings!!
ReplyDeleteI like this design very much!
ReplyDeleteWow! Talk about dynamic! I love it. I want to copy it! Well, except I don't have so much red in my scraps. Did you do these on foundations? Lovely job. How big are the blocks? How about a little tutorial here!
ReplyDeleteSee "update" above with the answer to Bonnie's question.

ReplyDeleteWonderful design! I like the look of this quilt a lot. Looks like a lot of detail work with so many narrow pieces!
ReplyDeleteIs it a table runner??I love the colors. QUilting makes such a warm finish always...
ReplyDeleteI think I need some quilts for my table!!
Really? Phone book pages? I love it. It's another Quilt of Valor? Glad to see you sewing again. g
ReplyDeleteLove the colorway of using all blues on one side and all reds on the other! A great way to use up strings and odd bits of fabric, and the wounded warriors LOVE the QOVs with all the different fabrics. Nice job, Nancy (SK)
