Since I didn't take any pictures of me quilting this one, I thought I would at least put a pic of the finished quilt on the blog. Here it is, my second string quilt:
Whoops! The pic of the back is upside down! But don't you just love that print!! It was quilted with an all over meander, which I think works pretty well with a string quilt. It's so busy on the front, you don't really need a lot of fancy quilting. I made that mistake on my first string quilt - not going to do it again! And since my "strings" are selvedge, it makes it kinda difficult to get a really nice smooth quilt pattern going.
I've got another quilt loaded - a zig zag quilt top that I made during the ice storm (I don't know why I made a new quilt, it's not like I don't have a dozen waiting to be quilted!). Just waiting to feel better and get inspiration to quilt it.
