Thanks everyone, I quilted mine on my longarm, not my sewing machine.
You don't actually need a foundation to do string quilts, they work just fine without it.
I very often use flannel sheets from LLBean for quilt backs. They're really nice, are sold separately (instead of buying a sheet set), and wash and wear on quilts beautifully. This is the back with the sheet I used:
I always prewash and dry the flannel sheets, hot water hot dryer. I don't prewash my quilt fabrics. When I'm finished, I wash the completed quilt, the prewashed flannel and the unwashed top come out just right.
I used Quilters Dream cotton, select weight.

I think your pictures has to be hosted online somewhere already. Then, you simply copy and past the url where the image is stored, click on the "Img" button, paste the url, and click the "Img" button again.

Originally posted by shirlmThanks for the interesting history lesson ladyrags. I actually got the idea from Bonnie's Quiltville website. The picture looks similar to mine except I made the 3 center blocks (four squares to a block) in shades of yellow which makes the center pop. The rest are mixed colors with a muslin strip across the center of each block. This makes a secondary design that I like alot. The triangle blocks against the edge are done in black.
If someone could kindly tell me how to insert a picture in my post, I'll post a pic of the quilt top.
Thanks,
Shirley

Thanks Margo and CJ for the info. I am not registered with Flickr or Webshots, so I think I'll wait to see if the new forum is more user friendly. Hopefully it will be but if not, I'll get up to speed on how to use one of those online hosts.
Thanks again!

As an alternative, you could download a .jpg photo to your TQS profile's personal photos and refer to it on the forum.
