I thought I should share this one with blog world.
This is a string quilt I made for my second son when he was a baby. He is 6 years old now and it still lives on his bed.
I made this with whatever boyish scraps I could find in my limited collection at the time. I love the bright yellow sashes. He actually says yellow is his favorite color.
It's one of the first I machine quilted.
I had a bunch of colorful thread that my mother-in-law found at a yard sale and I used every decorative stitch my machine had... and had a good time with it.
I love how it turned out!!
I keep telling myself that I need to do another one of these quilts... someday.

Your string quilt is so cute and it sounds like your son really loves it. I've never done a string quilt...just a pillow but I really enjoyed putting it together and would love to do a complete string quilt some day.
The highest compliment to a quilter? A quilt that is truely loved and enjoyed. What a great memory for your son.
I love that quilt. The yellow is wonderful.
I love the quilt. I especially like the part about using the decorative thread and stitches. I think the freedom to do what you want to and try out new techniques and thread is one of the greatest things about creative sewing.
You should do another.
I love this quilt, and I love that you used so many colors and stitches to quilt it! I have a new machine and I'm dying to try out all its stitches... hmmm... great idea!
