The good news....All in a Row is now a flimsie! Woot! Woot! This quilt has been mostly pieced for months. The original plan for the border was to use a border print from the same fabric line and miter the corners, leaving out the cornerstones. We didn't cut enough of the border print to make this happen, so it sat undone with the top and bottom borders on until I decided whether I wanted to 'waste' the fabric and cut new...or follow the pattern.
Well, that's what I did. I frog-stitched off the original border, folded it up for later, and finished according to the pattern. The pattern came from Kim Diehl's book
Simple Seasons. This book has patterns for 12 throw-sized quilts. The fabric line is Old Primrose Inn.
(Sorry it was a tad windy when I was trying to get the pic.)
The bad news.....now I have another flimsie for the "to be quilted" pile. But, in my opinion, that really isn't bad news at all. Another UFO has been completed and I feel great! :) Since I have been getting a lot of them done, it isn't quite as painful! LOL
Did you get anything fun done this weekend? I would love to hear from you---it motivates me!
Blessings

Well, I love Kim Diehl and I love this quilt. Always love the churndash.
Your fabrics are a great choice too!
Pretty, pretty quilt. Kim Diehl has some wonderful patterns, and the fabrics you used look so sweet in this one. I think I own three of her books.
Unfortunately, I haven't made any of her quilts yet. Too many things on my bucket list.

Very nice quilt top (I love your term for them 'flimsy')!! Churndash with a nine-patch, nice idea!!!
This weekend I sewed on the label of a quilt I finished late last week, it was only a 7 year old UFO, whoo! hoo!, I think inspiration goes both ways LOL!!!
I didn't know that about my settings....I'll go 'try' to fix it! LOL
Nice to have it ready to quilt - you do have back prepared too, right?
: )
You are correct, June. The back, quilt and binding are hanging together in line to be quilted! That way I don't lose any of my parts....
Have a great day!!!
I hate to be dumb, but what's a "flimsie"?
Donna....a flimsie is a quilt that is completely pieced, but needs quilted. I tried to send you a private e-mail, but there isn't one on your blog or profile. Sorry! Hope you get this....
Blessings..
Ah! A 'flimsie" is basically just the quilt top! Got it! Hey, I learn something every day (if I'm paying attention). Thanks!
