Finally finished my string top. I used almost 2 "Summer House" by Lily Ashbury jellyrolls and paper pieced them. Can't decide if I need a border or not. I do wish it was a little bigger but I don't think I can sew anymore of those squares after almost 8 weeks of sewing strips!

Very beautiful!! Colorful and full of "energy"
IMO, a double border would look awesome on your quilt top and make it bigger.~Mary

It is beautiful. i agree, a double border would look great.“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal.”

Re: String Quilt top completed
I LOVE the stripes around the blocks. That would really be great in a narrow (about 2") border, with something else (maybe a coin-type) border using the rest of the jelly rolls.Sometimes, when there's a raging fire,
it's best not to try to put it out with gasoline.

Beautiful quilt! Having done such a nice job so far, I would also add a double border. That way the quilt would turn out to your own satisfaction.sigpicgreetings from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Re: String Quilt top completed
One of my favorite quilts to do is a string. But I also understand getting tired of it. Take a break for a few days and then come back and view the replies. I think a double border would be charming as well.
Lovely fabric in this one!Sewing mends the soul.
