We have a flimsy!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T measures 56" wide x 68" long.
The borders were pieced from excess fabric
saved from the backing of Afterglow.
What's the story behind the name?
Aretha was singing as I attached the borders
and somehow the song and the colors in the quilt
just seemed to belong together.
(RESPECT the power of our humble scraps . . . )
The leftover snowball and nine patch blocks became
a column for the back, joining two colorful Westminster prints.
(Tents and Curly Baskets)
This is the second of my six RSC 2014 projects to reach flimsy status.
WOOT!

WOOT for sure! It's GORGEOUS! Congrats on such a beautiful finish. The border fabric was perfect for it.
Lookin' good! R E S P E C T - for sure! (now I'll have that song in my head all day!)
Your flimsy makes me smile. I love it. I was trying to use the letters to match the colors (Red-E-S-Purple-E-Coral-...) with no luck. I like your idea/song better!! LOVE everything about this top!!
Wow! What a fantastic finish..
Wow! This turned out great! I love how the colors interact with the sashings. It looks cozy already! Congratulations on a great finish.
What a fun quilt. I love the colors in it
Just gorgeous Julie!!!!!
I usually don't like quilts with grey in them, but in yours it seems the perfect background to show off the prettier colors. Your pieced snowballs are gorgeous, and I love the outer border, too. Second, Congrats! You are a Doer. (Do you have a magic tummy for me to rub... I'd sure like to inherit that trait. I'm a Putoffer.)

What a bouncy happy quilt. The background plays perfectly with the snowballs. Awesome.
