I Love Cherry Pie: The Flimsy


 "I Love Cherry Pie" (aka Flowering Snowball in Cherry Themed Fabrics and cherry pie colors) is now a flimsy.   And, oooops...I made it way bigger than I thought it was going to be.  It measures about 99 x 110 - King-sized, not Queen-sized.   So, now the backing I had planned will have to be pieced, I will have to buy a King-sized batting or piece some scraps on to the Queen-sized one I  bought. 


I'm going to big stitch hand quilt it with red perle #8.   I don't know when...it seems to be cool these days but will get warm soon and I don't have air conditioning at home. 


And it's kind of weird how random sewing sometimes ends up kind of un- random looking.    I don't have a design wall so I just pretty much grabbed and sewed.

I love Cherry Pie, too, specifically that quilt! As a matter of fact, you just keep making quilts that make me want to grab and hug them...

Super sweet, super YUMMY! Need me a piece of that cherry pie! As a fellow cherry obsessed quilter I must say you have some cherry fabrics I've not seen. Lovely quilt. Can't wait to see it after you throw on some whip topping(stitches).

What a wonderful quilt top. I love seeing all the blocks and then presto, change-o...it's all sewn together with a whole new personality.

I just subscribed to your blog and I am so glad that I did so. I love your taste in color and patterns! I'm not quite at your level of skill but I'm pushing myself.

What a hoot! You made it bigger than you intended. By the time I have pieced about half a quilt I am so over it, I usually end up making is smaller than intended. Its looking great there, and has a lovely secondary circle design.
