Never more

My holders are now up, so I've got a better(ish) picture. The quilt is too heavy to hang from my usual cafe curtain rings/eyehooks rig up, and it's too big to spread anywhere flat without moving furniture. I guess I *could* take a picture on the bed, but I still won't get all of it with the side drops and such. Oh well. Done. And that makes me happier than I could have possibly guessed.

There is nothing like the drama and unexpected sparkle of a string quilt. Just beautiful! Enjoy. Alexis

You out-did yourself this time!

It's just stunning Dorothy. I'd love to see a pic on the bed tho, lol.

You'll hug yourself (at least get a smug smirk) every time you walk into that room!

Gorgeous string quilt, Dorothy! Can we see it on the bed, too? What size are the blocks?

I especially love the kids' faces peeking over the top, and the kitty's face at the bottom...

EXCELLENT!! Love it! Yes, take a picture of it on the bed. Maybe a close up of a block you like too! As Napoleon Dynamite would say, it is FLIPPIN' SWEEEEET!

Thanks all. I couldn't have done it without you. *meah!*

I'll take a pic on the bed in a bit - it had a run through the washer, it's in the dryer right now. Thing weighs a ton dry. Wet? Holy moly!

Dianne, those kids are almost as tall as me, and are standing on the kitchen counter. The cat was just looking for a place to lie down - he'd been up for close to a half hour, poor thing.

Perfect timing in this weather! It's spectacular, you did a fantastic amount of work on it! One everyone can snuggle under!

I've never met a string quilt I didn't love & yours is love at first sight!
