I didn’t get this quilt completed for Christmas, but at least I’ll be ready for next year! And of course, what’s nice about Ruby is that it works so well for the holiday season, but is also equally as appropriate for any time of the year.
I had a fun time putting together yet another string quilt. They are a bit tedious to sew, but I love the end result so much that it’s worth it. This time I switched things up a bit and kept a chart to track of my blocks and their placement, hoping I could get all my strings to line up. Surprisingly enough, most did line up as I had hoped, though if you look closely, you’ll see several spots which are close, but not quite close enough. What’s nice is that from afar you’d never know!
I do hope to get my chart cleaned up and uploaded in case anyone wants to make a similar quilt. And in the meantime, how about a quick giveaway? I have a pile of smaller strings left, and would love to pass them along! They’d be great for a string quilt using smaller blocks or of course perfect for just about any patchwork project!
Just leave a comment here (one per person, please!) and I’ll select a winner sometime tomorrow!
Edit: Comments are now closed. I will select and announce the winner shortly!

(now, back to my last minute gifts! and wrapping! and unfortunately, probably some cleaning…)
The fabric line I've used in this quilt is Ruby by Bonnie & Camille for Moda. You can find it at many shops, including Fabricworm, Fresh Squeezed Fabrics, and The Quilted Castle.
You can find my original string quilt block tutorial here.

Beautiful! A string quilt is on my list of things to make. Along with a ton of other quilts. Hopefully in the New Year the baby will sleep better and I can get some more sewing time in. I would love your chart whenever you get it finished!
Good luck on wrapping your gifts! I have to do my nieces and mother-in-law. I should learn from Santa, he doesn’t wrap gifts at our house.
It’s beautiful! I know you’ll enjoy it.
A few co-worker gifts to wrap and I think I’m done. Then some baking. And cleaning. Oh, and decorating the tree that we finally got last night.
Thanks for sharing!

I’m working on a lot of last minute projects too. Love the way this quilt turned out and would really love to work with your “leftover” strings.
This quilt is amazing! Looks like it would take a lot of brain power to put it all together

Your ruby quilt top turned out absolutely beautiful. I have been wanting to get some Ruby and also to try string quilting! I love the way your strings match up (the random ones are not as appealing to me!)
Recently ordered Ruby fat quarters – just love it and your string quilt too. Would love all those scraps!!
