Americana Strings

Because this was a string/scrap quilt my plan was to keep the quilting simple. The big white spaces kept calling for more! more! more! Now that it's done I love it! And even my poorly executed machine quilting doesn't look as bad.


Here was a fun backing I found at the outdoor sale at Fabric Depot a couple of weeks ago. I think it was $3 yard. Unfortunately I measured once then had to cut more then once to make up for my lousy measuring. See that couple inch strip at the top?


Now that I am looking at the photo it probably would have looked better if I would have tried to line up the white squiggles. Too late now!!

Mari, I wasn't able to post back to you as you are on no-reply. I didn't use a commercial pattern when I made this. I used Electric Quilt for the size of the stars, then freezer paper and a plate for the swag border.
