I finished this quilt months ago, but never did show the final product. I made this quilt for my father. I was inspired one day when reading JulieKQuilts and seeing her "header quilt." After learning the quilt pattern, designed by Evelyn Sloppy, came from her Strips and Strings book, I got to work! This was one of my favorite string patterns EVER!
The quilting was very simple in this quilt. I used a walking foot and did a lot of stitch in the ditch quilting.
Here is the back. It was a huge stash buster! It is so nice to make such a gorgeous quilt out of "ugly" fabric.
Hopefully I will catch up on more posts soon. I am feeling stressed after taking a comprehensive exam, so something quilty will surely cheer me up!
Oooooo I like it!! I have the book too and this quilt is my favorite! Love the back
