Alrighty then!! Here is my finished middle...I like it! You may notice that I have made a few mistakes in the setting...and I am going to leave it. It really does not bother me at all...and will give someone in the future something to talk about. I set my string blocks together with nine patch cornerstones...you can set yours together any way you wish!!! I am loving this quilt...the cacophony of colors and plaids is so pleasing to me. Next? The borders!!!
I recently got to go with dear husband on one of his trips...and I saw this pretty fellow with his rack all in velvet...not too scared of me, and he had three of his deerest friends with him!! Hee!Hope you are doing fantastic today!

I love it!! I am collecting fabrics so I can make one just like it.
The plaids are just beautiful - it is a lovely colorful quilt!

It looks fabulous! Like Yvette, I've been collecting plaids...when I can find them on sale.
I don't have a lot of experience working with plaids and wovens. So I have a question...do you prewash your plaids?
Loving your quilt from here, can see no imperfections in the setting! I also love the fabric reference in the deer's rack. Hee!! ;) He is regal.
Julie...it looks really good. It is on my to do list someday...love the nine patch cornerstones.....AND I like everything about it!!
I love that quilt pattern. Am gonna have to make it one of these days. I love the look of homespuns!
You have such fabulous plaid fabrics...so bright and happy. It looks great!
Lovely top and it does my head in looking for your mistakes. What a nice site to see on your trip.
I have a tub of homespuns that is calling my name now....I will have to break down and make this quilt! Your quilt is just so beautiful!
I too have a bunch of homespuns. I really like they look in your string quilt. My wheels are starting to turn...

Wow! what a wonderful result with all those plaids!!! Couldn't see any mistakes, it all looks good to me!!! Love the little deer, beautiful!!!
Wonderful work. The white sashing is a really good choice.
Fantatic....its makes you want to jump in and make one...
I haven't spotted any boo boo's!It looks great! I haven't done any more to mine :-(
I had a cat once called Moose.
Though I didn't do the quilt-along, this quilt has been on my mind so much, last week I ordered the Evelyn Sloppy book! Should be here soon.
I think my stash of men's shirts is going to meet its pattern soon. Love both of these quilts you have made!
Oh Julie it is fabulous! I have one twelveth of this quilt done! Pathetic I know but I hope to get some more blocks done this week. I have cut loads of strings so just need to put my foot down.
But I have finished my churndash nine-patch quilt top!
Looking forward to your next step...! Just love the way you put those colours together !
Morning, Julie! What type of fabric do you use for the neutral sashing? I'm collecting fabric to make one, too. I even already own the book.
That plaid quilt is wonderful!!! Nice wildlife photo, too!!!
Love it! I don't see the troubles, but I love your idea that future generations will have something to talk about - my kinda plan *s*
Woo-Hoo! Your quilt is fantastic!! I love it no matter which way the blocks are turned.
I just two velvety fellows on my run this morning- not as big as yours though.
Wooo hoooo! Cool, girl!
The difference in the setting of the blocks encourages the non-quilter viewer to realize part of what we love about quilting - that there is an entirely different level of quilting with the arrangement of blocks. I think I would have also left them the way they ended. You are right = it adds interest. 8-)) Just lovely.
The plaids look wonderful!
Handsome dude you met on your trip! and a lovely picture of him.
Happy Summer!
