    Default Scrappy string

    What a stash buster this quilt is! Just need to quilt it now. I like when the quilting makes the blocks pop out so I will probably stitch in the ditch the white. Any suggestion for the color blocks?

    Beautiful! I love the colors. I have never made a string quilt but after seeing this one....I may have to add it to my bucket list.

    Very cool string quilt top! I might straight line quilt the squares in the same colours in a concentric squares into the center.

    Very nicely done. I like how you kept the colors separate.

    Very nice. I'd do the white first. Maybe that will be all you want or need. How big are the squares and how close does the batting require you stitch.

    No help with the quilting but I love your quilt especially the way you used the colors. Beautiful.

    Love this pattern. Always looks like beveled glass to me. And as though it moves in and out. Gorgeous and love your colors.
