fat tuesday flimsy

today i finally completed the "fat tuesday on orca bay" flimsy.  i still think i will bind it with the cheddar and it will be tied, not quilted...but not right away.  i have to put it on the shelf for a bit in order to get a break from looking at it for the past 4 months.  i simply don't appreciate the colors right now.  i did make a few little changes like inverting the last border and using a purple square in place of the QSTs on the end rows.  i think it gives the middle part a bit more space drawing attention to the action, which i like.  it'll be a donation quilt eventually and i'm certain whoever becomes its owner will love it just as it is....not perfect, like me...LOL!

  3. Fabulous flimsy! I am in awe that you got this top finished!
    And I know how it feels to want some time away from a big project.

  4. your orca bay is beautiful...i love the colors. it is quite an undertaking...won't be long you'll get it quilted and be snuggled under it...although hand quilting may take a while.
    so happy you're back to work, too.
