Many beautiful fabrics were chosen to enhance the pattern of this string quilt. I have always loved the old fashioned traditional quilt patterns. The string quilt is a wonderful way to be creative and express your love for fabric and colors. I suggest that even the most experienced quilter make one of these string quilts. Somewhere, someday; I know that this quilt will find its way into the heart of someone else. "Quilts are a treasure of love"! I hope that someone will someday enjoy using this quilt as much as I enjoyed making it. "Happy quilting" Fran
