Granny's String Quilt Completed

I am so excited to have finished Granny's String Quilt this week. I am very pleased with the way it turned out and I know she would be also!

 In this close up you can see the quilting pattern - Daisy Bounce - using a variegated pastel thread and I used four different fabrics for the binding.

 I really liked the way Granny used even her leftover Christmas fabrics and threw a lot of reds in. With the thirties fabrics, they just blended in and gave a little accent to the quilt.

 Here is the back. I had several blocks that were not large enough for the front so I just made a little backart, wanting to use all her fabrics. The yellow border was also in the box with her other fabrics strings.

Here is a close up of the back showing the quilting a little better. So much fun to finish a project!! Granny would be proud of it!

Another Floating Border

Here is another quilt where I did a 'floating border', as in the previous post. You can see the full borders better. This was made as a challenge in a guild using polka dot fabrics and at least one black and white fabric. I believe these were lake house flowers in the centers then I bordered them with polka dot strips. Stitch when you can!
