This is a post I have been waiting impaitently to write for several months. I am thrilled to be finished with my Roll Roll Cotton Bowl top. Yep, top. It does still need to be quilted. But with this quilt that is the easy part. And I'm quite sure I have never said that before. What a great project this turned out to be. It was so much fun to work so hard each week trying to be ready for the next weeks mystery post. I have always enjoyed string quilts and have bought several pattern books using string quilts. After the making the sixty blocks in this quilt I may be broke of the desire to ever make another one with strings. But there was certainly a great sense of accomplishment when they were done. I did decide to make my quilt square. Therefore, I have blocks left over for pillow shams or a small quilt. But they will certainly NOT go on the back of a quilt. At least not the back of this one. Thanks so much to Bonnie Hunter for such a great pattern. It was a lucky day indeed when I found Quiltvilles Quips and Snips. She has plenty of inspiration to share with a little bit of humor thrown in to boot.
Be sure to go to Patchwork times for a great place to see projects on Judy's Design Wall Monday. And check out her great patterns while your there.
And the next time someone says mystery quilt, I'm sure you will see me and my posts tagging along for the ride.

Your RRCB is beuatiful - love the colors!
Very, very nice. Love the coloring.
I like your RRCB. I didn't care much for the original coloration of this pattern. This however is really pretty. Nice job!
I've seen a couple of green/purple quilts lately. I think I shall have to try out this combo!
Wow, that turned out great!!! Love your color choices.
Congratulations on finishing your top...it's amazing! I know how much work went into your quilt because I am still plodding along with my blocks!
Very pretty and quilt to be proud of. Nice job and I can't wait to see how it is quilted!
This is a beautiful quilt. I like both the blocks and the colors.
It turned out stunning. I really love the quilt in your banner :)
It looks fabulous. I love the variation you used with the half square triangles.
Nice Job! I am envious of anyone who finished THIS one! I LOVE string blocks, they are so MINDLESS, and yo ucan do SO much with them. But I didnt join in with this one, since I have 5 others of hers started already! need to GET AT those!
Yours in in my favorite colors too, and the ones I would have picked.Nice to see how it would have turned out, and not having to DO IT!
I LOVE this quilt!! The colors are great!! I planned on making a RRCB myself, but just had too much on my plate :-( One day!!
