It's a flimsy!
40 x 42
A few years ago someone gave me the center print as well as several other different ones. I'm not sure if it's a panel or border print or what. It look like the prints were yardage and not sold separately like panels. Well, anyway, I put those in a box and for quilt awhile I have been throwing in pieces of fabric as I come across them that I think will go well with the different centers.
I'm not good at making medallion quilts because I can't ever decide what to add for borders. For this one I made some six inch scrappy square in square in square blocks. I think I used to have more frog prints in the box but must have taken them out last year when I made a green and pink frog quilt.
And I added some plain borders too - a couple of brown and white polka dots and a yellow one. I tried to use colors and novelty fabrics that matched what was in the center.
Here's three of the other centers. I'm working with another center. I'm hoping to empty that box of centers and fabric pieces this month but am not going to beat myself up if I don't. I have lots of gardening to do.
And sew on...
The little quilt is lovely. Perfect for some little one. You could even use those pieces as backings for little quilts. Or cut them in columns with solids between. Or do just as you have. Happy gardening!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the centre panel. I have the same problem making medallion quilts which is why I was so pleased with my last finish. Your other three centres are really unusual but I know you will turn them into lovely quilts.
ReplyDeletevery cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the medallion quilt--great idea! These are such cute crib quilts...

ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!
First off, Happy Mother’s Day. Great approach to use up those centers - fun little quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use border fabric sections. I did something similar a few years ago for H2H to send to Jack's Baskets.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the scrap quilt you showed a few days ago. And, yes, the garden gets awfully demanding this time of year.

Happy Mother's Day! Your flimsy is super cute!
ReplyDeleteAww... and ribbit! Love all the cute froggies!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteYour little quilt top is beautiful. Love the different
colors you used. Have a great day!
Nice job putting those panels to a good use! I find it hard to sew this time of year too. I love digging in the dirt as much as I love scraps. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteLittle Flimsy is big on cuteness and attitude :-) It will make a perfect little baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour flimsy is wonderful. Someone is going to love those cute designs and bright colors. I love your attitude -- I'm going to clear out the box but I'm giving myself permission to do other things. I'm hoping you get them all done.
ReplyDeleteThat's cute. You really made that center print work for you. Interesting, someone gave me the same print. I haven't done anything with it yet except sorted it to the "panels" bin.
ReplyDeleteWhile that may not have been a panel, it sure turned into a cute panel quilt!!
