April mini quilt - Spring Strings

Spring Strings. 

I love strippy quilts! Since I have been following along with Lori’s (Humble Quilts) string quilts sew-a-long I thought it would be fun to make a mini with some spring green and colorful strips. I know most people associate Spring with pastels, but I lean more toward the bright and bold colors! I adore the peachy orange tulips positioned next to those dark delicious purples. Yum! (sorry - no photo - nothing but the early tulips out yet).

Once again, I raided the orphan block box and started chopping strips. 
The backing is the last of a piece of fabric that my husband found for me in 1986. It was the first and last time he bought me fabric!
I have cherished it and the last little scrid will now go into the "pieces too small to use but too special to throw away" box. Yes, I am crazy, but I'm guessing some of you do the same thing!

Click on these blog sites to see the many marvelous minis of April. If I have overlooked anyone, please let me know. They are all sensational this month! I love them all!! Barbara's quilt is adorable, but her story makes it even more special! And Janet actually made two small quilts this month. 
Wow!

  3. I absolutely love this mini -- maybe if I use my own scrappy style instead of trying to follow someone else's directions/design, I might actually make a few more minis (BIG NOTE TO SELF).

  4. The essence of a spring flower garden, right down to the cultivated 'furrows' of ground between the flower beds! First thing I thought of was my Babcia's flower beds, there were three long wide beds near her farmhouse, just like this little quilt. Sweet memories!

  8. I am just loving how you worked in little bits of leftover blocks. So cool! As usual, a wonderful mini, Wendy!
    Your husband bought you fabric once? Wow--we've been together almost 41 years now and I don't think hubby has ever purchased any for me. But he has told me to go buy fabric, so that is just as good. :)

Hello everyone here in this forum i am so glad that i have this great opportunity to come out here and share my testimony on how Dr idahosa was able to cure me totally from Hiv disease, i have been suffering from this Disease for approximately 4 Years now, i have tried various ways to get rid of this Virus out of my body, i have also purchase for Medical treatment from my doctor but they all failed, sometime back now while i was browsing the Internet i found some good quote concerning Dr idahosa Herbal Medicine, and how he has been using it to save souls from Different Disease including Cancer, someone also said she was been cured of Hiv from his medicine, and they gave out his contact details in case anyone needs his help, i decided to contact Dr idahosa and i told him about my Hiv illness he told me not to worry that he was going to send me his herbal medicine all i was to do is to send him my personal details and also my home address so he can post the Medicine to me, actually i did all that was required by this Man, i took the medicine just as prescribe by him, he told me to go for check up in the hospital which i did and to my great surprise my Doctor told me the Hiv Virus was no longer there, i even went to other hospital for better confirmation its was still the same thing, Today i am so happy that i am Negative again, Dr idahosa has given me reasons to share tears of Joy, you can reach to Dr idahosa on his email address at (dridahosasolutioncenter@gmail.com) or call his WhatsApp number +2348134261542
