ScrapHappy February 2024: Strings Attached is Done

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

It’s the 15th of the month and time for my monthly “ScrapHappy” post as part of the ScrapHappy group I belong. At the end of this post I have a link to the other blogs participating in this monthly event in case you’d like to check out their ScrapHappy posts.

For this month’s post I am happy to report that my little wallhanging (measuring 28 x 28 inches/71 x 71 cm) Strings Attached, pieced from my stash of solid color scraps, is done and hung on the wall:

I quilted it with bright red thread and let’s see if it shows up better in this second photo I took:

Not really but use your imagination that you see bright red thread 😉

The pattern for Strings Attached is from August 2021 issue of AmericanQuilter Magazine, pattern by Lori DeJarnatt. I tried to mimic the color selections of the sample in the magazine as much as I could as I really liked it! (My quilting is denser than the sample in the magazine as I made a mistake on my first row of machine quilting when my hand slipped…so I made just repeated my mistake to make it consistent, ha!)

  9. It’s just tremendously cheerful and uplifting, isn’t it? I noticed that you can see the red thread really well against the strong gold colour. Personally I don’t mind not noticing the quilting so much, it’s like a small private secret.
