Child's Quilt from Panel and Strings: Finish

Child's Quilt from Panel and Strings: Finish

This is one of my favorite quilts I've ever made. Yup, I'm saying that about a quilt made from scraps, and a cut up panel. I can't believe it, but it's true. It's just fun, and I got to add so many tidbits of old favorite fabrics in the string piecing too. It's for my granddaughter, but it's staying here. I don't often do that, but I'm a little attached to it. Maybe because it took a lot of creative and mental energy to piece, but this one is special.

Scraps and a Panel Make a Quilt

Work in Process

Once upon a sewing day I sewed scrap after scrap together in long lines thinking one day I would need them. That day came. I found the container while straightening the studio, and figured they were almost I Spy quality for a youngster. I started with a simple block I'd made before, threw down a few fabrics as borders, and then realized it would be a very small quilt. It stared back at me for several weeks. It was just boring. It needed more of something, and so I kept cleaning and clearing.
