A second challenge quilt finished this month; my "xoxo" using selvage from favorite fabrics. The blocks are sewn on to a cloth foundation. Stephanie of Loft creations invited us to make and share string quilts, and this is my contribution.
This little quilt finishes at 24" * 39". I used Quilters Dream Cotton Select as batting. The quilting is a mix of in the ditch and parallel lines. You can vaguely see it on the back:
Lovely, warm and overcast weather today, perfect outdoor picture opportunity:
It was fun working with selvages. I'll keep on cutting them at 1.5" and saving them...

Very pretty, Marit; you must have been outside before the rain started.-)
What a beautiful selvage quilt. Great colors. I'd like to feature it on the Selvage blog.
Absolutely stunning Marit!
Given that you have used a cloth foundation, did you also add batting?
How does this affect the thickness of the quilt?
What a lovely quilt - great finish!
Oh Marit, what a sweet little quilt. The colors remind me of candy and the selvages really add interest.
LOVE IT!
