Choose Your Own BlockAlong - Post 4 (Leaf Peeping - The Flimsy)




Ta-Da!

Leaf Peeping

The flimsy measures 56" wide x 68" long.

I love it!

(the flimsy's backstory links are HERE)




Vintage quilt inspiration . . .




My scrappy interpretation . . .




More vintage inspiration . . .




A different perspective on my interpretation.




I joined all those 1.25" red strips end to end, 
and used them without considering where the seams fell.

See the joint on the left side of the cornerstone?

I had used the same approach with the long skinny darks.

You can see two joining seams above -
one in each segment adjacent to the cornerstone.

And then I took the flimsy outdoors . . . 




Late October late afternoon sunshine.
(with a breeze that helpfully scattered some oak leaves for me)




Backing tucked under one corner.

I LOVE SCRAPPY QUILTS!

Hope you'll go see what the others are working on . . .

That quilt turned out SO pretty and definitely has the flavor of the inspiration quilt. Scrappy quilts are the best!

Wonderfully scrappy and gorgeous quilt, Julie! Great interpretation of the vintage quilt, but made totally YOU.

Julie, I just love this one! You use your Kaffe's in wonderful ways and they help your quilts sparkle.

WOW...a flimsy already? And WOW...that's stunning. I like the color scheme. Oh, and I love scrappy too. Oh, and I love that you were inspired by an antique quilt and then acted on that inspiration. Oh, and I love the name too.
