I'm thrilled to have 'Country Charm' as a Flimsy!
What is a flimsy, you may ask? A completed quilt top that is not quilted, nor does it have batting or batting, just the top.

I finished the top in January, but never got around taking photos, until some days ago.
I did not intend finishing the top this quick, but I got totally obsessed by all those 2" squares collected from swaps. The 2.5" (HST) are from my own cut squares.

Look at all those yummy squares!
Who does not go dizzy or cross-eyed working with all those squares?!

I did! Do you see the errors? Two HST's were sewn in the wrong way. So glad I discovered it at this stage, not when the quilt is under the needle!
All fixed!
According to the pattern, it is made of 2412 2" squares and 504 2.5" squares (the latter used for the HSTs).
Did it make a dent in my boxes containing 2" squares? It sure did, but it's not even visible!
The floral 108" wide backing I bought recently, is for this quilt.
I'm not sure when I'll sandwich and quilt it. I have a few other quilts already thread basted and ready for quilting. Yet to decide which one I will try to finish next month.

great job on that big one. Isn't it amazing that we can finish a top that size and stand back and look at it numerous times while working on it and then find mistakes when we are done. Glad you were able to fix them So much better then to have found them while you were quilting it
This quilt is beautiful! It's easy to get fabrics pieced/turned wrong with this design. I have fabrics bagged for this pattern also. Happy stitching!
Country Charm is stunning! Congratulations on getting it to a flimsy.
Oh. My. I was amazed by the quilt itself but then the degree of amazement ramped up ten fold when I read the number of pieces!!! It's beautiful and you should be very proud of it!
Lovely flimsy you've put together, Astrid--soooo many squares!! It is really beautiful...how exciting to have it to this stage...;))) hugs, Julierose
It turned out beautiful!
Beautiful quilt top Astrid! So many small squares...truly a work of art!
Yes to what a beautiful finish this is...so many little squares! You do have a great eye for piecing.
It’s a fabulous quilt! Good job on getting the top completed!
Kjempefin! Og alle de små bitene! Pen fargekombo
Such a great use of scraps!!! Just beautiful!!!
I have never heard the term Flimsy before! Thanks for sharing both the definition and the photos! Lovely !!
This is a remarkable quilt when you consider the number of pieces in it. And well done spotting the couple of turned squares in time before quilting.
It looks wonderful.
That is a really pretty flimsy! And wow that is a lot of squares and HST's used up.
What a wonderful quilt, great colors with a great design!! Congratulations!!!
