More String Quilts

I have been digging into my string bin and is busy making a few more string quilts. Blue is my favorite color and my blue scrap box is overflowing with strings. I made this Rectangle String Quilt using Mary's free pattern here.
 These string blocks went a lot faster than my normal square string blocks.
 Blue backing.
I started this red, white and blue string quilt long before I started the previous blue string quilt which is now quilted too. Here I am busy adding a solid blue border.
 This is another string quilt I am working on...this is a wild quilt. Every piece of scrap is going in this quilt regardless of what color it is.
 I quilted my daughter's batik string quilt. She wanted leaves on her quilt.
 
 Scrappy backing.
 Remember my half string quilt blocks?...it is an oversized queen quilt. I am working on the binding and it feels like I am never going to get this one done.
 
Hoping you all have wonderful week and are having fun with your quilting...sewing, quilting or just relaxing with a quilting book or reading a quilting blog.
Until next time,
Millie

    Your string quilts are great. I think it's string fever all around. I've made a few in the past couple of weeks. They are quick, fun but the scraps never go away....LOL

    Beautiful, beautiful quilts. I have made a few string blocks but I want to make something that looks like yours. How did you do the non-square blocks?

    I love your string quilts and am finding them really inspiring. I suspect I will be trying Mary's pattern.

    My quilt guild small group has been making string blocks to use for charity quilts. It is amazing that no matter what you use together, they end up looking great!

    What is the pattern name of the string quilt you made for your daughter with the batiks? I saw an antique quilt with a very similar pattern which I would like to duplicate. Beautiful work!
