A Flimsy. Not a finished quilt.
72 x 90
I used a free Anna Maria Horner pattern that she calls Spinning Stars.
I've been calling it Petunias because...
...for some reason it reminds me of some Petunias I had on the deck last year.
Most of the fabrics I used are left overs and scraps from...
...a Pickle Dish quilt I finished earlier in the year.
I like how when the blocks are joined a secondary pattern of a star forms.
I was going to machine quilt this but I think it will be difficult on my dinky little plain Jane DSM so I will probably hand quilt in the fall when it is cooler since I don't have air conditioning. I want to emphasize those secondary stars and the octagons for sure.
I was going to give this as a Christmas gift to one of my granddaughters but maybe next year.
I still have some fabrics left over after both of these quilts. . Maybe I'll make a simple 16 patch with them.

So bright and colorful.
Both of these quilts are just gorgeous. I really love the bright shades of pink and orange. I used to think I was a "blues" girl but this reminds me how much I love the warmer colors. Well done.
Lovely quilts!
Gorgeous quilts--I really like the colors...hugs, Julierose
Petunias seems right to me! I really like the happiness of it.
Happy scrappy joy!
Love both those quilts, and you know I'm not really a fan of pink. (Though I did pick up a couple of pink fat quarters yesterday... I think it's because of your pickle dish.)
I could look at your quilts all day. 8)
Love these quilts, love the colors and the patterns, well I love all of both of them!
Your quilts are both looking fabulous! Love the lively colourfulness. Great.
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS! I WANT I WANT!!
Wow! Your quilt is gorgeous! Your granddaughter is lucky to be getting such a special gift :-)
Two lovely quilts... so much colour! Your quilts are a joy to look at!
A pickle Dish has been on my bucket list for a long time and now that I have seen your spinning stars flimsey, I might have to make one of those too. Yours is beautiful! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Love your Petunias quilt! That is the perfect name for it!
I like both of these every time you show them. Pickle Dish is somewhere on my list; need to move it up.
I liked these colours in your pickle dish, like them here too. Petunias is a good name :-)
Love these quilts, Cathy - they are so bright and colorful! Lot of work there - you are so productive. Thanks for linking to WIPs Be Gone.
I just made this pattern using light/dark with Denyse Schmidt chicopee fabric. I love it! Your quilt is beautiful! I like that you used the same fabric for the "circles". Nice work!
gorgeous rich colors in both your projects - congrats on making such beautiful quilts.
I love the pattern and colors and especially the comparison to those pretty petunias. :) I am so impressed you are going to hand quilt it. Please share with us when you finish.
Oh, love that Pickle Dish quilt, fantastic choice of colour/fabrics :)
