YAY--IT'S A FLIMSEY

                              See, I CAN follow a pattern ;)) (heh heh heh)
                             {Thanks to my holder-helper-- aka Thom}

My SIL Steve's lap quilt is now in the flimsey stage....
here is a close up
of some of the fabrics--
I used almost two layer cakes....


 This one is Origami↑↑↑


                        ↑↑Whales and Sailing ships....since we live by the
                            Shore this appealed to me to go with the 
                                  darker blues...


                              And this one was just pretty.....;))))↑↑
                               but not too frilly...........for a guy quilt

And here are the fabrics I will use for the backing laid out on top of
the front.....⇊⇊⇊⇊
                        I made extra chevron (Zig- Zags, as I have called them) 
                          in the gold colorway which will run down the
                             center of the back ; next will be a strip of those
                               trees and then the blue/gold dotty and finally that
                                   blue....

Tomorrow I will cut and measure for the backing (this part always
makes me nervous--that my math won't be up to par...) 

                         ["The little train that could", hopefully...;))))]

                          The quilt is 64" x 51"...he is a tall guy....😎

                       I am calling this one: "Sailing into the Future"

Be safe and secure at home
