Comforting Chaos ~ the flimsy

This is Comforting Chaos ~ a scrappy bright warm-toned

Chinese Coins style PIF lap quilt.

And this is how to create a back

for a 43 x 66 flimsy using

roughly 2-1/2 yards of fabric (the stripe) ~

remembering that Chris needs an

extra six inches all around.

The long panel you see on the right is my

WOF yardage folded in half lengthwise.

I'll split that length vertically,

 then stitch one length to each side of the

78" long pieced section

(created from leftover coins, leftover sashing ends,

and the last 1/2 yard or so of the

"long time waiting in my stash" stripe).

Once quilted and bound,

Comforting Chaos will be off to

warm the body and spirit of

an Alzheimer's study participant.

In another week, Chris and I will meet up 

to swap quilted projects for flimsies in need of quilting.

The binding list continues to increase ~

but I now have a plan!

I am teaching myself to bind left-handed.

Took the first few awkward, tentative stitches yesterday.

Yes, I can do this!
