It Is A Flimsy And I Am Thrilled

My Farmer's Wife Blocks are now a flimsy. I took your advice and moved a few blocks around to hopefully make it look appealing.
I had a very hard time deciding on the color of cornerstones, so I went with nulti-colored and I am so happy with that decision. I then framed the whole quilt in Kona White and added a border of a Pam Kitty Pink Fabric.
I am going to quilt it with a soft pink in a grid pattern.

I NEVER could have done this quilt without the classes I took from Karen at Laugh Yourself Into Stitches.They were amazing and she was so helpful. The link to her classes is on my side-bar and she now has a super fun Facebook group!

Well, the worst part for me lies ahead!  Basting and marking the top.  I just want to quilt!

Here she is as a flimsy.
The next time you see her, pictures will be taken in the snow as I hand quilt.


Corner-stones
Not too bad for a semi-blind gal!


I was trying to capture the color of the border because it is such a pretty pink.


So, off to watch a scary movie as I baste. Ick!!

Happy Sewing and Thank You for your visit.

    The multi-coloured corner stones were a perfect choice as is the border fabric. Happy quilting!

    How did you get ahead of me on this??? I guess I better get back to it
    The colors are wonderful, I love your corner stones and the border sets off the blocks nicely.
    Hand quilting? My hat is off to you!

    Wonderful job Jane! I finished mine a long time ago, but it still sits on a hanger in a closet as a flimsy. Someday, someday I will get it quilted :)

    I love your quilt, Jane! I am doing Karen's FW too, but I've only gotten 16 blocks finished. It's such a fun quilt! I am using a lot of Lecien fabrics and some Bonnie & Camille. I really love your multicolored cornerstones and I might borrow that idea from you! I wouldn't have thought to do it, but it looks awesome!
    I really enjoy your blog!
