FINALLY, FINALLY A FLIMSEY--a short addendum

 

I decided that I needed some kind of border on this one....

I had used up almost EVERY tiny bit of this

lovely cherry fabric; 

one of my

favorite fabrics of all time....

I found it curled up in my binding leftovers box....

[a Jan Patek fabric]

NOW....

 all I have left are these

two little "bits"

⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓

I had to cobble together what was left

of that original binding fabric to make

the fabric  

S  T  R  E  T  C  H

around the perimeter;)))

👺👹👿

AND.....

you can also see that I had to cut

the wider strips in half to

make it around....the

last two sides....

P H E W !!

BUT....

I do love how this sets off my

"Scrappy Snowballs".

LEGOS DECISION, et al

I am leaving the RED RED block in place and adding this whimsical 
red border
on either vertical side...

these dollies have been in my stash for quite a
while (I made a couple pillow cases for granddaughters with 
most of it..)

AND............

Now, in the interest of full disclosure...that last purple block on the 
lower right--
well, when I was truing it up to 10.5"---

it turns out
it was really short--but only 3 strips...

way too short, in fact...aaargh--oh nooooo

ummm but, Julierose, they are HORIZONTAL and the

whole quilt  is VERTICAL--
well, so be it!!  I am not making that block over again.....

Life with quilting is NEVER boring...always something to figure out, right?

I am definitely a "make-do" quilter--I love that book that came out a
few years ago:  "That Dorky Homemade Look"...yup...;))))

Thanks to all of you who took the time and trouble to leave me suggestions about my RED RED block...i really appreciated it...

So, that is the news from our hot hot hot SE CT--not venturing outside
for walking at all--way too hot and humid..

sounds cool, right??)
