What was your inspiration?

I had a drawer full of pretty pink, green and yellow pieces and strips of baby quilt leftovers. I needed 3 baby quilts so I just started sewing and piecing and got all 3 tops done in a weekend. This is the first completed quilt.

What are you most proud of?

Have always wanted to make a string quilt and this is my first.
