Rainbow, Framed String Quilt

Another big finish this week. 

The binding finally fell into place on this 

Rainbow Framed, String Quilt.


Measuring a nice queen sized, this will be added to my 

Cozy Collection. The need may arise 

for it to be gifted, but for now I am 

calling it part of my Cozy 12!  Found 

on numerous Pinterest sites, I sewed  my own

way by rearranging the colors and 

adapting the block and lattice to fit my 

favorite ruler size. 

The blocks check in at 7 1/2" using a

2" diagonal center strip. White was used 

here as I used it before and the crisp 

white makes the colors pop!

It is set on point.



 Rows of blocks

11 across, 12 down to make a whooping 

81" x 88" in size.


It quilted easily with additional support from 

a handy ironing board.

I always have some of these blocks on the go. 

They are fun to sew up, and great taming 

of assorted small scrap piles.  Sewing up 

extra blocks helps in using the blocks 

made in error when I read the pattern. 

I always seem to make too many!

Smaller blocks can be used to make a matching 

infant quilt too! Another pattern that is very addicting!



Stay Safe and Sew On!

Stash Report - Is it Fall Already!

 September is here already and it is 

time to finish up the 8 months worth of

tops hanging in the vault. 


This big, queen sized colorful beauty 

is all done up with a scrappy binding 

to match the myriad of squares bouncing 

around inside the white frames formed 

by the center strips.
