Ta da! "Cardinals in the Pines" is finished!
It's 60 x 72 and used 8-5/8 yards.
The churn dashes in the pieced back are from Barb V's swap. I've used them in the backs of three quilts and still have a couple of dozen.
I used white thread to quilt spirals.
My cutting table is also my basting table. The table is approx. 58 x 34. When I have the center of a quilt basted I remove the clamps and slide the quilt sandwich, bringing the sides or ends to the top of the table. I am careful to keep the backing taut. Using the table this way is an incentive to finish basting because otherwise I can't cut any fabric.
And here's the new flimsy. Judy Hoowarth's Razzle Dazzle Quilts was the inspiration for the setting.
Approx. 65 x 73,
4-1/2 yards.

Congratulations on the finishes. I really like the flimsy. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteOh, two beauties! I really like that Cardinal in the Pines using different shades of green with those pops of red. I need to remember to use orphan blocks on quilt backs. And that churn dash is so bright and cheery and dazzling. Congrats on all that work.
ReplyDeleteYour flimsy is beautiful! I also use my cutting table to layer & baste my quilt tops. I like your incentive but mine is little different. It's a good way to MAKE me clear the cutting table of EVERYTHING! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are beautiful! You've been very, very productive.
