Rebecca the String Quilt

I finished my string quilt with the line "Rebecca" by Mary Koval for Wyndham Fabrics!  I purchased the jelly roll  and a background jelly roll  as daily specials but then ordered a tiny bit more of the Rebecca fabric line for the blocks, and some yardage for the border and a backing.  I often piece my backing but the purple was on sale so cheap, and I just LOVE purple, that I bought it to match although I did have to piece in some scraps to make it large enough.

The quilt consists of 36 blocks, each 10" square and each is string pieced:

Check out missouriquiltco.com or youtube.com for the tutorial.  I added a 1" finished inner border of the deep purple and a 5" finished border of the burgundy.

I had to make something up for the cornerstones as I was about out of useable fabric.  So two corners are a simple square.  Love this floral!

And the other two are half-square triangles within a border.  I had to take small triangles cut off from the string piecing and sew them together.  I had just enough of this floral to surround them:

For the quilting, I think this one is screaming feathers!

I just love the fabrics in this quilt; they match my living room sofa!

I am just about finished with a quilt for one of two adopted boys coming to their forever home from Africa.  Hope to start the second this week! Can't wait to show you; they are cute as a button!
