FUNFETTI INTO A FLIMSY , et al

 

Here are the wonky funfetti

blocks sewn together.

(click to enlarge all)

AND then I

pinned those double rows 

of 4 patches--

all gray toned prints--

to the shorter sides 

to see if I liked them

with the main piece...

↧↧↧↧

It was a Plan for  borders...

SO...

I wandered about for a couple

days looking at this a lot...

and finally, 

I decided I did like that 

softer look to surround

the funfetti center

I used up all my gray 

mini charm 4 patches 

here and also a leftover

strip of foggy grayness...

I got to sew it all together

this afternoon 

into a Flimsy:

I had a tiny little little smidgen

of that solid grayness

leftover...

j-u-s-t 

enough!! ;)))

This is my trial piece for making

more confetti blocks...

using the smallest pieces I 

could sew 

and still have them show up;

and also trying out 

a few triangles...

I am thinking now of a dark 

background with low volume

white and off whites

to make next...

I am hoping it will look 

like snow falling...

I will be deciding on 

a background

for this...

And so, this really is 

a TWO-fer

in my 

"USING IT UP" 

series...

I still have more mini charms

😧😰😮

sewn in 2-sies and 4-sies

to be used up

before I embark on 

any really 

totally new projects...

Tom is out mowing our lawn 

in between showers;

very humid here with a 

72 dewpoint and 

80 degree temp.

Needless to say,

our AC is on..

I have prepared our dining room

table for what will be the 

7 of us tomorrow:

Candice, Cassidy,

Greg, Connor and

Steven and us...

Very French Countryside

dotted with my mini

collection of 

Rooster salt and peppers:

These are Pfaltzgraff--

I have 2 set of these...love how one is 

looking back over his shoulder

:)))))

and

 Mom and I scored

this pair 

at a yard sale:

⇊⇊⇊

We both thought they were

vintage looking..

Soooo cute...

You know, it's been so long

since we've entertained at all

that I had to really think 

👵 about

dishes, serving dishes, etc...

We are so looking 

forward to tomorrow..
