Second String

Sometimes I think 

that it would be nice to have a fairy

godmother who could wave her magic wand and

"Pouff ".

My quilt was done and ready 

to be enjoyed.

But what would be the fun in that.

The down side would be that

the quilt wouldn't have a story,

or a personal connection.

Earlier in the summer Barbara at 

Quilts, Gravestone and Elusive Ancestors

started  a fun scrappy quilt using 

leftover strips.

Check out her blog because

her quilt is done!

Guess what.

I had leftover strips too!!!

Don't we all? 

The pattern we both used 

is called Interweave, a String Quilt Pattern

by Karen Griska.  

 

 It didn't take long to sew

the 2.5" and 2" strips together

in a random order.  

"Second String"

It's a mish mash of color

and pattern,

I think every leftover was fair game.

Big sections are sewn together.

Randomly sewing the different width strips

makes for less matching.

It's a collage of color!

It's a great quilt to stitch and

recall where and when the fabric was 

 originally used.

It really is an easy quilt of quilt memories.

They're part of a "second string" quilt. 

For now 

it's in the pile to be quilted.

Hopefully, it won't remain there too long.

That magic wand belonging to 

my fairy godmother may not be used

for quilting, but

I wouldn't object to her

using it to clean up after me. 

Until Next Time-
