Smitten - the Flimsy

While cleaning up the studio,

I realized Smitten only needed its borders sewn on.

(it was abruptly pulled off the design wall

to make room for Little Man's project)

So I stopped cleaning and finished Smitten.

54" wide x 70" long

(I'll square the corners after quilting)

You can read about Smitten's inspiration here.

You can read the other updates by using the 

Smitten label at the bottom of this post.

 (adj. - "marked by foolish or unreasoning fondness")

There are 360 single fabric 2.5" squares

and 360 2.5" four patches (or 1,440 1" squares)

in the finished quilt top.

(Hint: if any of you are inspired to make your own version,

do yourself a big favor and make your four patches 

oversize so you can square them to 2.5")

Smitten's scrappy backing is ready and waiting

so I'll likely get this pin basted and quilted 

in the next couple of weeks.
