Why Not Sew?: String Quilt Finished!

String Quilt Finished!

Yes! I finally finished my string quilt. It took what seemed like forever to bind this quilt. I didn't realize how much I don't sit down during the summer. But here it is in all it's stringy, quilted, bound glory :)

The quilt is on the small side but that's just fine with me. I'm really happy with it.

I used scraps for the binding too. This kept me interested while hand binding. I have plans for another, only bigger!
