I'm finally getting settled in enough to consider what I'm going to work on next. After my recent issues with unwashed fabrics and bleeding, I've been washing fabric like mad;) I have a quilt on the wall that is about 15 years ago...and it's starting to bleed after all this time!! I may have to retire it as it has embroidery work that can't be washed. Oh well, lesson learned;)
On to the project....
Remember I showed you my string quilt....
I pulled this out of my stash to go with it.....
for the sashing/border.....
I'm thinking of a thin red or black border between the blocks and the day of the dead fabric with a red binding.
I like it!!!!
I don't know if I will call it "Confetti" or "Street Party"...what do you think?
Happy Quilting!!

That fabric says Street Party to me!

I agree. It looks like Street Party to me as well.
Yep, I'm voting Street Party, too. It will look great with the black and red.
As I said before, I love your string quilt! Being an old lady, I can't say I'm crazy about the skull fabric, but I must admit it does look great with your string colors. I think a narrow black border will be great between the two.
Do you use Color Catchers when you wash your fabrics? It really does help to capture the bleeds. ---"Love"
Street Party is perfect. I vote black for the skinny border. That day of the dead fabric is perfect, too!
I vote for street party too. That fabric is perfect for the border. I wishI could play in your stash for a little while. :)
Street Party! Where do you find these fabrics?!

It looks awesome. I recently picked up some fabric with bright coloured skulls on a black background, even though I had no idea how I'd use it. I love what you have done with yours....and have been "gunna" make a string quilt for a while....Thank you for the inspiration!
