Strings and Tumblers

I am finally done with the binding on this quilt. I washed it twice and love how it is all crinkled up.
This quilt got a special place at the end of my bed even before I was done with the binding.
I am working on a Tumbler quilt in soft pastels. The fabric gives this soft cottage look that I adore. I used the 6,5" Tumbler go-cutter die.
A friend surprised me with a bag of scraps. I immediately took out all the blue, green and yellow strings and started another String quilt.
I am almost done with the binding on the Butterfly String quilt
Happy quilting to all of you,
Millie

Finished Whirlygig quilt

 
It is extremely hot and humid here in Texas, perfect weather to stay inside and to work on quilts. I am so excited, my Wirlygig quilt is all done. I can't wait to display it in my quilting room.
These two quilts are almost done, they just need a binding. I had the bindings all planned out. The blue binding did not look good on the String quilt. My ideas do not always work out.
This green fabric looks a lot nicer on the quilt, I am glad I changed the binding out.
 The second quilt's binding is coming along nicely. I am such a slow hand sewer.
This lap quilt will look nice at the end of my bed, well I first have to get the binding done. lol
 I love my bed quilts and this String quilt is getting softer which each wash. I love this white wholecloth quilt at the end of my bed.
 The blue String quilt is nice to cuddle up in. I like to have a few quilts on my bed. My wonderful hubby does not mind all the quilts and pillows on the bed.
 I changed out the quilts behind my longarm. The blue String quilt on my bed used to be over here in my quilting room.
Thank you so much for visiting. Hope you'll have a wonderful week.
Smiles,
Millie
