My little pelican is also almost finished. It is layered, ready to machine quilt. Those little skinny strips should qualify it as a string quilt too!

Strings
I was waiting to post these two projects when they were finished, but I became aware of a CONTEST on "Stitched in Color" that ends at midnight tonight! They are asking for pictures of any and all string quilts or string quilt tops finished in 2013. I stitched the binding on yesterday. The only thing left is the hand stitch finishing.
Who but me would buy a Tupperware box labeled "feed sack scraps" at a quilt show for $15?! The scraps sat in that box for a while before this pattern caught my eye. I quilted in big stitch with #8 red pearl cotton. Here is a detail picture.
I'm lucky enough to own a few whole feed sacks, so that is where I got the border. The solids are "new" fabric. I also added a few vintage buttons.

I love both of them, Lori! You picked a wonderful green (and blue) to complement those feed sack strings, and the quilting on it is gorgeous. The reverse applique pelican is looking great too
Love that wonderful hand stitching -- great quilt!!!
Love your quilting!
Who? indeed. Probably most of us would make that purchase. lol We're all hooked! My husband has given up on me: says I'm a lost cause. Well, duh! Your quilting stitches look great. This is an amazing quilt.
