Abendrot - the Flimsy


Once the substitutions were inserted (see previous post HERE), it didn't take long to sew the nine rows together.

Abendrot's top measures 54" wide x 72" long.


Abendrot (meaning the color of the sky when the sun is setting) makes me very happy.


I've had this 108" backing in the stash for a while and now it has found its intended purpose.

(Mod Plaid by P and B Textiles DSN No. 04775)


I snapped this photo earlier in the process when the top was sewn together but not yet pressed.  The colors are so true here.

The crumpled look gives a hint of how wonderful this future quilt will be when in use.

This is just so lovely!

I think the backing is trying to upstage the top! What a fabulous word, Abendrot.

This quilt would make me very happy too! Might have to steal the plan for one of my own. 😁

Love the pops of pink in this quilt, it just looks so warm and cozy! And the backing fabric is perfect. Your backing fabrics always inspire me a little too. Someday I'm gonna do better with more of mine.:)
