Several years later, she called me again. Another niece was graduating... you get the picture. 
Four years ago I plunged into the world of machine quilting myself (not long arm) and so I started quilting those t-shirt quilts myself. I believe there have been a total of 7. With so many strings left, there was only one thing to make - a string quilt. 
The colors are so wild, and I'm sure will bring memories of all her nieces. I'm delivering it tomorrow. Hope she likes it. I forgot to take a picture of the back, but it's very neutral so she can turn it over LOL.
So thanks for trusting me, and thanks for the memories.Until next time,
Karen

What a clever idea to save the extra strips and then make your friend a "memory" quilt from them. She's going to love it I'm sure.
I LOVE that quilt!!!
That's such an amazing quilt! I love all the bright, happy fabrics. I can't wait to hear all about how much she loves it. What a great idea to combine the scraps from all her gift quilts.
OMG - what an amazing quilt! I love brights and black just makes all those colors pop. What a great idea to make a thank you gift by using all the leftover - good for you!
Hi Karen! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Your quilts are incredible! In the 90s I lived in Niceville, FL and belonged to the Flying Needles Quilt Guild. We used to visit a quilt shop on the east side of Pensacola. Can't remember the name though. I enjoyed reading through your blog.
I'd never turn it over - love these bright happy colors!
