Canada Kate

My daughter recently returned home from her first year at university. One of her classmates is getting married next weekend (an older classmate, not a fellow 18 year old!) and at the end of April she asked me if I possibly had "...any spare quilts that she could give the couple for a wedding gift?". I don't generally have full-size quilts on hand (although I do keep a couple of baby ones in reserve at all times) so I decided to make this string quilt from my scrap bins. I've never made one before and was it ever fun to do - the blocks go together quickly and the top requires very little quilting. I only do SITD but I was pleasantly surprised with the star pattern that occurred by accident on the back. Thanks for looking.

What a great Mom you are. I love scrappies and this one is great. I love the way you made the colors pop using the black. Thanks for sharing.

Colors are beautiful. Your quilting is very good. Lucky is the couple receiving this as a gift.

Really striking with the black. I like that the borders on the ends are larger than the sides. Gorgeous!

Beautiful! And it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg to use up all those little strips. What a good mom you are!
