I also finished the 80 blocks I needed for this string top and started putting the top together. Hopefully I'll get it assembled this weekend and then guess what I'll be quilting on it? I need some practice turning the corners on the BF anyway - my lines are a little wobbly as I turn to go into the next fan.

Your string quilt is beautiful! And, no, we will never get tired of seeing it! Well done!
I love the blue strings quilt! The chunky pieced border is a nice touch too, and great for using up smallish pieces (or did you strip piece it in long strips?)

I never get tired of see your quilts! I am hooked on string block because of you! Love the blue one with the fan quilting.
It looks like we have another Baptist Fan junkie! Aren't they fun to do? And so fast...they look great on your quilt! I'm so glad you're having fun and being productive again...
That turned out so pretty. :)
And I'm looking forward to seeing the other done the same way! Are you using variegated or gray or blue or ... white? thread on them?
I've had my Circle Lord for a couple years - bought it second hand from a quilter who'd only used it once - and I've recently bought a bunch more templates including the big Baptist Fan. I got that one because I have a lot of tops of my own that I want to quilt using it. But I've still never even tried my Circle Lord. One of these days . . . .
Your blue quilt is absolutely gorgeous - your quilting is outstanding and no, I won't ever get sick of looking at pretty quilts. I love the next photo of your new string quilt, particulary like how you only used "strings" on half the block - I like the effect of the alternating block you've created. I shall be back to see it all in one piece.
I will never get tired of seeing your string quilts...the blue one is just beautiful and the fans are just perfect. Your new blocks are wonderful! Can't wait to get going on mine.
Love the blue strings with the fans - almost likes waves on the ocean :)
Oh, Mary, your quilts are always so-o-o beautiful, I never tire of seeing them. Keep showing us--I NEED the inspiration! I ike the idea of a rod over your sliding doors for photo-ops. I need some way to photo mine.
I love how the Baptist Fans quilting looks and your scrappy strings are great - colorful and cheery for a winter's day.
I'm a big fan of the Baptist Fans as well! They add so much character to a quilt. Good for you for buying it for yourself!! Looks fabulous!
you certainly have been busy lately. Your quilts look great.
