After a long day, I found the energy to bind the beast! Since this top has fabric from every decade from the 1930’s to the 1970’s, I decided to use a 1980’s fabric for the binding! As I worked in that, I couldn’t help but notice again all the funky scraps in this top. I took pics to share them with you.

The above photo shows the quilt before washing. I used JoAnn’s Soft and Crafty 100% cotton needle punched batting. Here is a picture after washing:

If this 40-50 year old quilt doesn’t look fresh and modern, I don’t know what does! I am so pleased with how this turned out and thrilled that it will soon find a home on my youngest daughter’s bed.
Until next time…















I see a lot of familiar fabrics. I love string quilts, have one I NEED to get finished. Yours is gorgeous. Great work. I know your daughter will enjoy getting acquainted with all these great fabrics.
It’s absolutely GLORIOUS!! What a treasure!
Wow the string quilt is oh so wonderful. At first I thought – dah . . but seeing it complete it is a keepsake indeed. Fantastic!
