Well, those little mug rugs are just as cute as they can be! Yes, strings rule, I especially love them in borders as you've done with your little autumn top. I've seen tea towels similar to yours at estate sales, my guess would be mid-century-ish, but I'm no expert. They are sweet little treasures, and there are several quilters that I know of who turn this type of vintage linens into quilts using lots of FMQ.
I have two of those "vintage towels." We bought them in Italy, from a couple that my husband knew when he was serving a Mormon church mission there. They made them themselves, all hand appliqued on fine linen, and look lovely in the kitchen. Not terribly expensive (we could afford them!), but they look great when they are all starched up.
The string border looks fabulous on your quilt, and the mug rugs are adorable.
I received a similar tea towel and a small apron as a shower gift back in 1979...,I believe min were made in China.
I've often thought of using the applique in some other project but have never come up with an interesting idea.

Your little towel is like a tablecloth and napkin set my grandma had but never used. She travelled everywhere so my bet is she brought it home. I love your quilt at top of post.
When visiting NYC those linens would be in so many shop windows. (1970). Some were made in Italy some China. Always too pretty yo use. Would put them over colored fingertip towels in the bathroom for "pretty". Dotti
The little vintage pieces look fabulous quilted as a wall hanging. Check out Cindi Needham for some great ideas and techniques.
The string border is the PERFECT accent for that top! I mean perfect in every way...colors, width, style. You nailed it!
This little Halloween piece turned out so cute! Now you're ready for Oct.! But PLEASE, let it come very slowly!
Yay!!! and it looks so great - the mug rugs are great too!
It looks finished to me too. I'm slowly working on the Sew Spooky quilt. One day I will finish. Hugs
Very fun finish on your "Happy" Halloween quilt. :)
Those mug rugs are just adorable, Julie. They are so "you" and that makes them extra special.
I know absolutely nothing about the little towel, but it sure is pretty.
You do magic with your strings! I can’t bring myself to save one more category of scraps :)
Cute mug rugs and love the towel. I have a lot of my MIL’s linens, so pretty.
Love your Halloween quilt. You'll be ready when October rolls around. You are so good making all those strings work so well together.
I have a couple of those little towels, but, never used them (too pretty). I've had mine for decades. Cute Halloween top. I like your mug rugs. You can never have too many mug rugs.
The string border works so very well. You had a nice variety of pieces to do it with. Were they different widths or the same?

I received a tablecloth and napkin set in the '70s like your hand towel. It was made in China. The applique was very fine and delicate.
