I am feeling the satisfaction of bringing a UFO to the flimsy stage. It all began by cutting bricks from scraps last November. Such satisfaction, don't you agree?
For the neutral squares I did end up using a bit of yardage. And soon I had two strips pieced. Shortly after that I put it aside...
Until a few days ago when I wanted it off my design wall. I had a little conversation with myself that I should just sew up more strips first. I only needed three more strips and I could end up with a UFO crossing the flimsy finish line. But wait that would be a smaller top than I wanted. So into the stash for some solid blue for sashing strips and a little outer border. Ahhh satisfaction! Quilting will ensue at a later date as I am just in a piecing mood right now.

ReplyDeleteThat is one pretty flimsy! The blue from stash makes all those scraps sparkle!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun quilt design! What size did you cut your bricks? I love the blue sashing and border, too. Great job moving that one along!
ReplyDeleteOh yay for you! That is a pretty flimsy. LOL on "the flimsy finish line". :D
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great pattern for scrap use. The quilt looks lovely! Enjoy your progress. You do great things :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed, the dark blue sashing strips look great and make it a little bigger too.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful quilt, Vicki. Sometimes we do have to give ourselves a good talking to in order to get those projects done don't we. LOL. I really love this design. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat an attractive flimsy. I love the blue. Thanks for sharing in my Sew and Tell party.
ReplyDeleteThat's good one - and that blue sashing/border elevated it even more. Great choice! And good for you to move that UFO to the flimsy stage!!
ReplyDeleteThe blue sashing is a great way to complete the design. And it's a great stash-buster.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that conversation with self thing - there's been a few of those here as well! You ended up with a cute quilt top! Yay!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty flimsy. The blue sashing and border was a nice addition.
ReplyDeleteI really love the simple design that looks so great together. Your addition of the right shade of blue makes it warm and welcoming. Great job on the finished top.
ReplyDeleteThe blue sashing and borders make nice finish. It always feels so good to finally get a project to the finished flimsy stage.
