to all that participated or commented -
Thank you so much!
The projects have all been fantastic and the posts have had so many
tips and new ideas!!
Today is my day to show a new favorite quilt.
Wavy Strings
I just love making blocks with strings, it feels therapeutic.
I actually made more blocks than are shown here, but time wasn't on my side.
So it's a smaller quilt than planned - 48" square, but still, love
and
I have a good start on another one.
I will draw the pattern up with the next one and will share all the details then.
This one was a bit bulky and needs some perfecting.

I used a muslin foundation to stitch the strings and then a stitch and flip method for
the top and bottom of the blocks.
Rainbow is my favorite colorway and I love scrappy quilts.

I quilted it with straight lines in Aurfil 40 wt. long arm quilting thread in white.
Part of the fun for me is the pictures.

Tyty for this blog hop it's great to see diffrent ideas on scrappy strings...Your quilt is very very pretty ty for sharing... happyness04431@yahoo.com
Thanks for hosting us. Wow I love quilt.
Oh wow, this is fantastic! I've been totally amazed this week at all the creative things that have been done with strings. Things I'd never thought of, like your zig zags, and other things I saw earlier. Such fun!
What a great quilt! Thank you so much for putting this together!
Thank you for the blog hop!!! I'm was so intimidated by string quilts, but y'all have made it look so fun (and do-able.) I particularly like your straight line quilting over your chevron design. It adds so much texture to it!!! Genius! :)
Carla, your rainbow string quilt is amazing, and thanks so much for this wonderful hop!
I love the way you used color coordinated strings to create the chevrons.
Gorgeous quilt! The strings effect in the color ways are beautiful.
I love your quilt. A great way to use strings!!
Wonderful Wavy Strings! I am trying to persuade myself to take better photos for posting as well. They are so much more fun to look at than the grainy and off color photos I see sometimes. I know that if I dislike them, there won't be much interest from guests either. Great hop! It has been fun!
I love this! Would you kindly share how you made the blocks??
You had some great contributors with neat ideas. A success! Your waves look like a project I could do too.
Your quilt took my breath away. It is absolutely radiant!! I would love nothing more than to race up to my sewing room and start RIGHT NOW... Except you were stingy with your process pictures! *Grumble, grumble grumble.)
WOW Carla I love your rainbow zigzag string quilt! It looks fabulous on the fence too, lol! Thanks for sharing your quilt and hostessing this blog hop. So much inspiration from all. I had fun participating in the hop and hopping about to see all the other creations too. Strings are one of my favorite type quilts and now my head is swimming with new possibilities to try even more ways.
This quilt is gorgeous! When I first glanced at it I thought you had done your white fabric in strings as well but upon closer inspection it is the quilting! Wonderful. Love the rainbow.
Great blog hop! I've never made a string quilt so this has been very inspiring. Love your Wavy Strings quilt!
OMG Carla, this is the best string quilt ever!! Can't wait to see the pattern for it-oh oh another quilt for my bucket list, LOL
OMG a definite wow rainbow quilt. Using strips for the blocks was a perfect use of strips.
Love your rainbow Wavy Strings! Thanks again for organizing this! It has been a really fun blog hop!
This is really beautiful, Carla, and your quilting adds so much to it. Thanks for hosting such a fun and inspiring hop!
I love your rainbow string quilt. I've always wanted to make one of those.

Carla, that is one heck of a good looking quilt, and I'm happy you plan to draw up directions for us, because I was going to ask if you would do so, but you made the offer first. I just love it, especially because it's so bright and happy looking. Thank You!

Very neat projects. Enjoy your day! angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom
I look forward to the pattern! Love the zigzag in rainbow colors!
I'm not always big on rainbow quilts but I love this one. It reminds me of the zig zag crochet afghans I used to make as a kid when I was into rainbows and care bears. Remember those. lol Awesome, strings hop. I was inspired my the many wonderful projects.
my second comment on Wavy Strings quilt. I have a gazillion scraps and would really like to try my luck with this quilt. Has the pattern been posted? Plz advise as to where I can find the pattern or how to construct it. Thanks!
Oh wow, this is fantastic!
