A Flimsy!

PaMy Pinny n Pa quilt was finished to the flimsy stage this weekend. The blocks and rows went together in a snap - there were not a lot of seams to match, so this went together very quickly. I didn't follow the pattern as written for the borders. I simply added a row of half-square triangles, then I will add about a 6" border of this Thimbleberries fabric I snagged at a Memorial Day sidewalk sale for $3.99 a yard and call it done!



I couldn't stop thinking about chocolate and strawberries while finishing this one, especially after a comment Carol made to an earlier post about this quilt. Mmmmm - one of my favorite flavor combinations....

My reward for finishing was to start a new project, of course. I hope to be able to share a photo tomorrow.

    Very, very pretty. It's been on my "to do" list forever! Someday!
    It reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today and glad you left a note so that I could find yours! I don't get around the Q4p and Quilt Studio rings often enough. I love this quilt - great scrappy look and a lovely color palette.

    Hello
    I am working on Pinny n' Pa now. My blocks are about 8 1/4 inches and I am having difficulty getting the points to match.
    When you made this, did you square the blocks to 8 inches? If so, it appears that I need to trim the two sides of the smaller triangle on each block.
    Any assistance would be great.
