It's a finish!
67.5 x 82.5
It seems like this year I have been quilting most of the flimsies I made in 2019. Someday maybe I will get caught up.
I used two different blocks with batiks that were swapped long ago - maybe as far back as 2010 or earlier.
One of the blocks is a batik Happy Block with 4 inch centers and 2.5 inch sides that finishes at 7.5 inches.
The other block is a trimmed down Framed Four Patch with 4.5 center and 2.5 inch sides in black trimmed down to an 8 inch unfinished block so I could pair them up with the smaller Happy Blocks.
It's quilted with some horizontal and vertical lines and even has some LOVE quilted in.
The back.
Now it is ready for giving or gifting. Or it might go into a "hope chest pile". I just realized my granddaughters will turn 17 this year and will soon be going off to college and/or setting up their own households. It has been my plan to have a pile of things like quilts, potholders, crocheted dishcloths, embroidered dish towels, pillowcases, etc. for them to choose from when the need arises.

Congratulations on a finish. I like quilts like this as it seems folks enjoy looking at all the different fabrics. Keeps you warm, cozy and interested.
It looks awesome!! and way to go!!
very nice...just enough black to give it wow...
I'm sure your granddaughters would love this quilt, but it looks very masculine to me. Perhaps it would make a great donation quilt for a needy man somewhere. Great job! ---"Love"
You've mad so many lovely flimseys--what fun to finish them up now...
lovely array of batiks in this one...hugs, Julierose
Congratulations. It must feel good to finish a 10-year old UFO. =)
Great idea to alternate Happy Blocks with the framed 4patch blocks. Lovely finish.
I like the way the black-framed blocks "look" smaller than the batik-framed. It gives a lot of visual movement (as if all that color needed any more motility!).
Great way to use up those swap blocks from before postal charges made it prohibitive. It looks fantastic.
I really like the look of this one. Another idea to add to a very lengthy list.

What a clever way to combine your blocks. Congratulations on another finish. That’s always a good thing but this is a colorful beauty.
Another fabulous finish. I think you should put it in the hope chest!
What a pretty quilt! Love the two blocks together and the pieced backing is perfection! Another good job!
Pretty quilt with the black frame. New follower here.
