Slow scrappy Sunday Stitchin'!

 I have been slow stitching on this quilt, hand quilting it.  I had my doubts, but fell in love with it right when it came out of the dryer.  The applique did well in a rough cycle, wash and dry, so I love that part, since the applique is made out of strings, as well as the blocks, and I was wondering how it would fare.
 I quilted through each string, and some strings have zig zags in them.
 Yay!  The applique held up!!!  This quilt has no batting, but has three layers, being pieced on muslin under the string blocks.
I have a lovely orphan blocks, that I am working on, to make a small basket wall hanging.  PINK!  Bubble gum yummy!

Hope each of you has a great day,

That string quilt is so wonderful! I am glad it held up in the wash. Would have been so sad to lose this beauty to a rough cycle wash and dry.
Fun little creation from the orphan block. :)

Congratulations, Julie! Your gorgeous quilt survived its first wash and dry, hehehe. I guess you are all ready for summer now with this no-batting quilt. Sorry to tell you but summer is not for tomorrow. We are stuck in snow! No, not really but we do have snow that won't leave. Needless to say it was a very short Fall season for us. lol. Love your little bubble pink mini quilt. Adorable!! ;^)
