Scraps and Strings: Oh my stars!

Monday, 28 January 2013

This vintage string quilt top was for sale at my quilt retreat this weekend.

I considered it, but in the end,

all I took home were some photos for you to enjoy with me.

It was hand pieced and featured lots of feedsack fabrics,

as well as lots of pieced diamonds.

Here's a close-up of the stars. They were lovely!
