It's a Flimsy!


This was a recent Edyta Sitar (Laundry Basket Quilts) mystery  Clues were released daily over a couple of weeks and I stayed caught up and made blocks each day. When it came time to sew blocks together my sewing machine went kerplunk. I now have tension issues under control on a backup machine so finally have a finished top.  

 I used rose themed scraps and yardage.  
Edyta calls it California; however, I'm calling mine Wild Roses. 
 Not sure how I will quilt it.  One of these months I'm going to have to declare it the month of roses and get all the rose themed quilts in the piles quilted.

I was going to make that one and did the first two clues and then quit - I had too many others to work on with out getting side tracked with another - yours turned out really nice

That's so pretty, Cathy! Your rose themed fabrics always make the best quilts - I especially like the one with the dark background.

I love roses! They are all over my house, in every room! That quilt is beautiful, and must have taken lots of concentration to get together. (Would have for me anyway, but I'm sure it was easy for you!) ---"Love"

Oh, wow (I said aloud when this post popped up)!!! I love what you did with Edyta's pattern! Lovely top - and I am envious you found time between baking bread and working on your other projects. Sandy at sewhigh.blogspot.com

Your quilt is beautiful! I love florals and the fabric you chose is perfect for this design. Are you keeping this one? I finished step #10 or ll and had to stop and start making masks. I really want to get this one finished soon though.

Your version turned out really beautifully! I love how the navy gives it so much contrast :)

Nice job. Those dark sections make it look Aztecian, if that's even a word. You're really churning them out again.

Lovely quilt. I love the fabrics you used. I saved the daily patterns so someday I may make one.
