Hello and Welcome from Illinois i just left a site before i came here and was looking at string quilts i want to make one but not sure if my scrap bag has enough scraps in it yet ( by the way i didnt notice the background of you house till you said something in another post so i had to go back and look) my theory is who cares as long as the quilt looks good !!!

I plan on just using free motion quilting all over it with a spool of thread that has many different colors in it I think it's called striated thread. Will probably use a light weight batting some kind of polyester because the top already seems heavy due to the weight of the foundation muslim squares I used. Have considered no batting and that might be the way to go. Have you put one together with no batting and did it come out ok?
I am mentally planning my second one as soon as I get a couple of baby blankets finished in the coming week. I really enjoyed making my first string quilt and see many more in the future. Might try a color pattern next time around but who knows. Thank you for your response. Ellie

Both my kids graduated from OSU. They keep coming back and moving out and coming back again. aaa They love my quilts each have about 5 through the years and then the friends get one eventually too. Keeps me busy. Ellie
