String quilt (another one)

One of the happiest times of my day is when I'm sitting at the sewing machine. I love putting colors together. Someone recently emailed to me that I ought to learn more about how to put colors together and not be so timid. She must be living on the moon. I'm still laughing. I ought to have saved her exact statement. But I erased it. Anyway, here is the latest effort. I have made similar quilts before. I want to sew on a border today. After this, I have no exact plan of what to make next. No problem, I will no doubt grab a bunch of scraps (there's so many littering my sewing area) and start on a donation quilt. I have been constantly making hats for the charity that my knitting group sends stuff to. Lately I have found a lot of sport yarn for baby hats. Folks donate yarn to our group.
