QAYG FLIMSY



TA DAH!!! Here is Cassidy's quilt (to be named later) ; it is quilted to the batting.

                   I love how the border frames these blocks--the colors worked out just fine....
Here is how the back looks right now--
I'll be tying the backing on soon

I've ironed all seams open and trimmed off extra batting at intersections....

NOW to add this to the back--the Christmas back that I always make for my grandkids'
quilts...

AND...they are almost an exact match in size--just enough extra for "take up" 
as I tie it on....
PHEW!!;--)))
They are now resting on my dining table and I am done (in!!  lol) for today...

Last evening the sky was so pretty right before sunset....

Lovely pinks, lavenders and palest of blues--just a whisper of gray....
against the darkness
settling in.....

hugs

    Congratulations! You did a great job on Cassidy's quilt. I absolutely love that you make a Christmas backing for the kid's quilts. Super idea, it's like getting two quilts in one.

    Looks like you are going to get your purple and green project done before I do! I haven't even got my rows sowed together yet. Yours looks great! I love the way it turned out.

    It had never occurred to me to QAYG without the backing - but I can see it gives you extra options. I love that you put Christmas backings on your grandkids' quilts - that is just a fantastic idea and one that I shall be stealing. :-)

    You must be doing the happy dance to have all the quilting finished up and ready for the back to go on - Cassidy will be so pleased with her quilt!!
