As previously mentioned, I finally got all the blocks for Alishia's string quilt done. Gotta say...strings might not be my favorite kind of quilt. Man they take a long time.
I tried a few layouts and sent her pictures, and in the end she picked small diamonds. Here were the options:
The Big X.
The Big Diamond.
The Little Diamonds.
Maybe I'll call this Alishia's Stringy Diamonds. Or maybe something less stupid. In any case, that's what I'm working on tonight.
I also got 3 more QFK kits in the mail. Pictures to come.
**** Quick Update ****
Here's the top as of the end of the night. The middle is all sewn together, but the borders aren't on yet. I am LOVING how the border fabric ties everything in so nicely. Click for a bigger image...it's teal flowers on a brown background. I couldn't have designed a better fabric!

Beautiful, Kat!
Maybe call it "Alishia in the Sky with Diamonds" with the hope that one day she'll understand the pun. And really, they are diamonds on a blue background so it works visually.
I love it, and you are right the border fabric was made to go on that quilt!!! Happy Quilting!!
Pretty, Kat!
I keep thinking about maybe doing a string out of my scraps, but i have so many projects i'm wanting to try...
