After getting two flimsies and scrappy backings done, I decided to continue getting some blocks into flimsies, and later on pieced backing too.
Do you remember Star Streams? It was supposed to be a RSC project, but I decided on blue and white instead. The first blocks were made January 2023. Step Blocks were made June this year. I ran out of background fabric when I had 7 blocks left to do. Argh! I didn't have anything matching, so had to order more. It was delivered after some weeks, but then I had other projects to work on. Now that I'm in 'flimsy-mood', I pulled out the blocks for this one, made the 7 remaining blocks and VOILA!
Another flimsy is born!
A border can be added, but I'm going to leave it as it is, with dark blue, maybe scrappy binding.
Measures approximately 57 x 65 inches / 145 x 165 cm.
It has got a pieced backing! I had two 'in and out of the shelf' fabric I desperately wanted to get rid of! Can you guess which two? The half yard shell fabric and the sunrise, or sunset? fabric! I bought the sun fabric years ago, when I was stash-building. The shell fabric was a gift from a UFO challenge some years ago. I've never liked the latter! The big floral fabric middle right is actually a piece of a curtain I bought years ago in Norway! It's one of those good quality cotton curtains. I love it and could never part with that small piece! lol
When will I finish this one? Not sure. I have to purchase batting, even if I do frankenbatting, there won't be enough.
Yesterday I pulled out Country Charm.
I'm making more blocks and I have cut more neutral/white 2-1/2" for the HST required for each block. I'm not exaggerating when saying I have thousands of 2" squares. This quilt measures 85" square and 2412 2" squares go into the quilt! It should make a small dent?!
