String quilts!!

 I have shown this quilt top before, but I was just thinking...oh watch out!  Thinking again!!!  I truly love strings, and this is a string quilt....
 I wish I had made it bigger, bigger!!!!
If you would like to make some string basket blocks...here you go!  I made these last night.

Please see this link, to Lizzie's blog!!!  I love her blocks, and they reminded me that I made the quilt top above, some years ago.  Lizzie is using Cheddar for her handles, and I am using Yellow...because that is what I have...so in it goes!!!


Lori at Humble quilts is having a string quilt along this year, so go over here to see what everyone is up to.

I don't think that I have seen a cotton fabric that I don't like! Love most of them!

I save strings, but I don't use them; perhaps, it's time.

What a fun basket quilt! And a perfect border, too.
Yellow and blue are so classic together. I am guessing this one will be BIGGER, BIGGER!! LOL
