Rail Fence and Chines Coin quilts

 The cooler weather is perfect for bindings. I finished two quilts. My Rail Fence quilt got a blue binding. I am so pleased at how the Rail Fence quilt crinkled up after the first wash. I like 100% cotton batting.
 Here is the other finished quilt, my Go Cutter Strip Chinese Coin quilt.
 I also quilted this jelly roll quilt. I have not decided how I am going to bind this quilt.
Thank you so much for stopping by and happy quilting,
Millie

Giveaway (Go cutter 1", 1,5" and 2" fabric strips)

Thank you so much for all the comments. This give away is now closed.
The winner is Muddling Through. Elaine said: "Millie, you are the sweetest. I have wondered about the go strip cutter and am glad to have your opinion. I need to make a coin quilt, that is one I haven't done yet".
I wish I could give everybody something.
 I got a new Go cutter die to play with. It is the Go Strip Cutter 1", 1,5" and 2" die.
 I like to have a two day give away. 
6 yards of Christmas/holiday fabric cut up in 1", 1,5" and 2" strips can be yours.
I had so much fun with this new Go cutter die. I took a few yellow, blue and purple pieces from my stash and cut it up in the strips. It went so fast and the strips are very accurate.
 I also cut a few 2,5" strips from the same fabric as well as white sashing strips. Do you have a Go cutter die wish list? I do and the Go Cutter 2,5" die is on the top of my wish list.
 I made a Chinese Coin quilt from my strips. Not only was the cutting fast, but the sewing too.  I love Chinese Coin quilts. I quilted the top with a flower and leave panto.
  I cut about 6 yards of Christmas, red and green fabric in strips. I love my Go cutter. I will add the strings in a pink baggie for a String quilt. If you like to enter for this giveaway, please leave me a comment on this post.
I think these strips will make a beautiful Chinese Coin, Spiderweb, Rail Fence, Roman Stripe or Bento Box quilt. The strips are also perfect for a String quilt. Thank you so much for stopping by at my blog and good luck. I will pick the winner Monday.
Happy quilting,
Millie

Quilts from 2.5" strips


Marjie asked me to quilt 5 quilts for her which she all made from 2.5" strips. These quilts are adorable!

The first 3 quilts are all Chinese Coin quilts with white sashings and borders.


Quilted with the panto Hearts a Flutter. The butterfly and heart backing goes perfectly with all the spring 2.5" strips.


The next teal Chinese Coin quilt is quilted with the panto Pretty Posies.


Teal flower backing.


The last Chinese Coin quilt was made from spring strips and a a few Breast Cancer fabrics. She made the quilt for a friend who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.


Cancer Ribbon panto.


A Bright Rail Fence quilt...this is also a good idea to use your 2.5" strips.


Quilted with the Sunny Daze panto.


The pink border frames the quilt nicely.


Pink and brown backing.


Another quilt from 2.5" strips.



I also got the quilting done on Jenny's t-shirt quilt. I am so pleased at how the quilt turned out.


Close up of some of the t-shirt blocks and Bubbles panto.


Zlaty was so kind to think of me and gave me the Beautiful Blogger Award. Thank you so much! If you do have time, please visit her at Zlaty Sews.


I absolutely enjoy making quilts. I love my stash and String Quilts are my favorite!

If you like to pass this award on, please feel free to do so!


Happy Quilting!
