A Finish

It's a finish!

67.5 x 82.5

I finished the top back in March 2019. 

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. 

 

#103a - Still Working on It

 UFO #103 is what I've been working on this month. Surprise, surprise...when I went to assess what was needed to take the UFO to flimsy stage I found that UFO #103 was actually two different UFOs that used batiks -Framed Four Patches and Happy Blocks.  

So I hope to have two flimsies by month end - #103a and #103b. 

For this one - #103a- I'm using 12 of the Framed Four Patches for the centers of 24 inch Massachusetts blocks. 

Only three more blocks to go!

Tomorrow or the next day I hope to show you the #103b flimsy.
