So nice to have another finish.
Julie from JulieKQuilts had a series of giveaways and the last one was for a box of strings to make a quilt in the next year for the HeartStrings project. I think everyone that commented on that post won (I think there were six of us). She had enough strings for everyone.
I got the strings in the mail yesterday. I really wanted to do some charity quilting this year and this is the perfect chance. I have never made a string block before but they look easy enough and I hope to have some fun with this. It was funny...I opened the box and pulled them out and said to myself, "I have a bunch of these!". So I will be adding a bunch of my own strings to the quilt. Thanks, Julie for giving me this opportunity to make a quilt for HeartStrings project. And thanks for the gift of the fat quarters. That was very sweet.

the red binding looks perfect! It totally ties in the red in the quilt.
Can't wait to see what you make with the strings. Why are they called strings? Aren't they just skinny pieces of fabric scraps?
What a sweet quilt and I love the red binding!
The little quilt is so very sweet, I love the soft print baskets and the red binding.
So, after I comment, I read the other comments. Too funny! I guess that's a SCREAMING approval of your choice of red for the binding, LOL!!
OH MY GOSH!!! That quilt is darling.I love, love, love it. I don't know what a string challenge is so I will have to check out that blog. Happy Quilting, Debbie
Yes that binding is perfect! The quilt is wonderful. I am playing with strings myself. I'm loving how the blocks come together quickly. It is very relaxing sewing.
