It's a Flimsy! Let's Party!

Let's Party!
It's a flimsy!
54 x 72

I started this a few weeks ago as a way to use up some skinny strings and some of what I thought looked like party themed 6.5 inch squares. 

I used black and multicolored black strings as a delimiter. 

I know someone in an extended care facility who will celebrate a 91st birthday this year so when finished that is probably where the quilt will go. 


 I even included a square with blood shot eyeballs (bottom row center) as a reminder of what happens after too much partying.

WOW - that came together super fast. I love it. I saved out that design last year - hopefully I can use it THIS year for two table mats and maybe more. LOVE yours.
