It's a flimsy!
Text Me aka I 💓 2 TXT

It's another one where I combined text fabrics and selvages with text.
I've made pillowcases and tote bags and quilts for the granddaughters using that center fabric. I bought what was on the bolt at Hancock's when they went out of business. I was going to use the remainder of it as a quilt back but decided to feature it on the front of a quilt instead.
I modified The 2--Hour Couch Quilt pattern at Country Threads Chicken Scratch so I could use selvages. It takes more than two hours if you use selvages!
I had pink flower fabric with text...
...heart fabrics with text and butterflies on pink that complimented the center fabric. I had several different small pieces of fabric with letters on black that I pieced together for a border.
And like yesterday's flimsy I tried to tell a little story with the text on the selvages.
This one tells the story of my granddaughter , Isabelle, a bold and beautiful wild thing in a pickle.
There's probably a couple of different stories in this one.
I think this would make a nice comfort quilt for a teenager that still likes pink unlike my granddaughters.
More selvages to go...

A fun quilt in the making, and I agree, perfect for a teenager!
You never cease to amaze me with your quilting ideas! This one, and the last one too with the star from selvages, are very unique and also pretty in their own way. ---"Love"
Awesomely scrappy and utterly delightful.
A wonderful quilt! I enjoyed reading all the selvages!
Oh my gosh! I’m beginning to think that you can pull these quilts out of your.... ear! CUTE!!!
What a great way to use a fun large print (ha!) fabric, as if it were a panel. Love this idea! You're right, this will really appeal to a teen, especially reading through all the stories :)
Fun fun fun Quilt. Love that center fabric. You sure knew a great fabric when you saw it!!

What a wonderful quilt - great use of big pieces of fabric as well as room for personalization and cuteness!
