Flimsy time!

 So it is not a true finish but I am pretty darn happy I got this UFO to flimsy finish this week! For the past two weeks I worked on this off and on.

Documentation was never made as to when I started this. But I know it was in the last four years as it was started when I was in Arizona. The pattern is Layer Cake Custard from Fat Quarter Shop, fabric is from Island Batik.  Fifteen of the blocks were constructed back then. I stopped because not all the blocks were coming out the size I needed to pair up with the more solid blocks. A good lesson learned to complete one block and measure it. 


Fast forward to two weeks ago, I am tired of scooting this UFO box around every time I want to move my ironing board. 


So out it came and I fudged and trimmed and got everything to line up. Made up the more solid blocks and I am happy with how it came to a flimsy stage. Now to find a backing for it. I would like a wide backing in a cream print.

  5. I wish I had that much room under my ironing board (why I don't ever move it). I haven't seen that pattern before. It turned out nice.

  6. That's a very Arizona-ish design! Love the colors in the fabric line. It is frustrating when blocks don't come out quite the right size - I have that trouble quite often, still... after all these years of quilting! Are you guys wishing you had gone to Arizona this winter after all?

  11. Hi Vicki! When you first shared the sewing picture earlier this week, I thought it was a zebra print. Now I see it is leaves - lovely collection of IB fabrics. This turned out great. I'll have to look up that pattern as I have quite a few layer cakes to use up. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
