This is the story of a super fast finish for me. I bought fabric on Monday and cut it out. Tuesday I had to go back for a fourth yard more fabric because I cut a strip wrong.
Strip pieced and chain sewed the blocks after school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Sewed on the borders then the backing went on envelop style with no batting.
I top-stitched around the edge then quilted on the diagonal thru the white blocks.
Below is the finished flimsy.
Here my quilt holder is showing the front.
And here is the yellow minky dots back. It is sagging a little on the quilted lines.
All ready to give to my friend LeAnn.
This isn't really a quilt since there is no batting. LeAnn is moving to New Mexico. I thought a light weight throw would be more useful than a heavy quilt.
She said she likes a soft backing. Minky Dots it is.
I didn't want to put a label on the minky side so I wrote on a corner block.
The throw is 72" by 60" and was finished in four days!
It is a simple four patch pattern with 6.5" alternate blocks.
The pink and yellow blocks criss-cross around the solid blocks.
In other news we have had several very stormy days. These Asian lilies are doing great here...
and here.
White Easter lilies are blooming, too.
Linking up with Wendy. Take a look at her shuttles quilt. Happy Mothers Day!
