My quilt full of String Ornaments is finished, and I love it! It feels clean and modern, but still very Christmasy and cozy.
The top was inspired by this ornament fabric I’ve had for awhile and wanted to use for the backing. I love the contrast between the Victorian ornaments and the modern ones.
The red and green fabrics are all from my Christmas scraps, I didn’t cut into any yardage for them. It was fun to remember all the projects and it really did clean up my scrap bin. I pieced them on seed catalog and phone book pages, which came away very easily. Usually I remove the paper as soon as I’m finished piecing, but this time I left it on until I had added the white corners. That made the blocks stable enough to sew together without the paper.
The various white-on-white background fabrics were all from that 12 lb. box from the Fat Quarter Shop last month.
I used the backing fabric to make the binding.
And, yes, it’s been inspected.
