You may remember this quilt made of scrap/crumb 1/2 square triangles and silly flowers, which I love. As usual, I got stuck on the borders, and into the quilt abyss it went! (the quilt closet)
It is time to finish up all these border-less quilts!! So...I made a border of strings and away I went!!
Black print squares in the corners...
and black borders around the flowers, so that kind of goes together.
Here is the whole thing! I like the light strings in the borders...they kind of sparkle!
t
The quilt grew feet!!! Hee!!!
By the way? The secret to life???? ready??
Is string borders!! I have never made one that I don't like, and plan to finish several of the remaining quilt tops this way! And will use up my remaining strings, so win/win!
So...aren't you glad you know the secret to life???
SNORT!!!
Have a great day!

Double snort!
Thats a great border for that pretty quilt.
Love it, I have a few quilts needing borders and was thinking if strings so now that I know that is the secret I can proceed 😂😃😆
I should have known there was a string attached to the secret of life! Hahahaha! I hope I will remember it now that I know! It could work on a few (lots) of my UFOs. Thanks for sharing Julie. I love the light string in the border too. It does sparkle! Congrats on the beautiful progress. ;^)wtg
Wonderful finish -- and thanks for sharing that secret!!
Snorting my coffee at that! I am most charmed by the light scrappy sashings around each HST. It makes them shimmer to me, a really pretty effect. Congratulations on redeeming a top from the scary quilt closet!
Strings certainly worked on this quilt!
Haha, Julie, and it looks terrific. Maybe I should try it--but I don't save strings. Another scrap to sort and save is too exhausting to consider at this point 😋
I adore that quilt
Super cute quilt and thanks for sharing that amazing secret to life! :) :) :)
Boy, am I ever in trouble! I don't do strings. I'm doomed!!! : (
Very cute finish on your quilt. I am glad the secret of life works for you.
Wonderful use of scraps and strings - you've created another beautiful quilt.
I love string borders too. I usually go for plain or strings....maybe I should vary more but meh lol. Love your quilt
You quilts are always fun! And lovely! I wonder what some of these quilters who do not save strings do with them. I hope they have friends that would love them. Have a happy autumn!
P.S. My strings and scraps go in a big plastic bushel unsorted. I never know what I will pull out. But alas the bushel never gets empty!!!
Great quilt!
I've never made a string border, but now I have to! That is a beautiful quilt! I like the crumb HSTs. Another thing I need to try!
Looks great! One of these days I'll have to make a string border!!
So happy to learn the secret!
Must get to work fixing everything now!
Perfect! I've made a piano key border before, but never strings. I love how nicely it framed this pretty quilt! XO
