Cherries Jubilee Flimsy

The red and cream version of my scrap project is now a finished flimsy. I have no idea how many different fabrics are in it. A lot, for sure. The 6" blocks were addictive to make in batches of four. Each little square finished at 1-1/2 inches. Here's an indoor photo on my design wall; I'll get an outdoor photo with better lighting later. 


Two of the cream fabrics have cherries in the print. For that plus the overall red and white color scheme I'm calling this quilt Cherry Jubilee. 

The cream fabrics all came from my stash and the reds are about half from my fabrics and half from PCQ's stash. This will be a donation quilt. This top measures 64" wide by 88" long, so it can work for a twin bed. 

It'll be a while until I can quilt it; the club's long arm has been out of order for over a month already and they've determined it needs a new motherboard. The club voted to authorize the expenditure. Now they're working with Gammill to get the repair scheduled. Then there's a backlog of booked time slots that will have to be rescheduled.

    I love the motion that the setting you chose creates, and the interest in all of the details of the prints up close is really lovely. I'm sorry it's such a big repair for the longarm, but I'm glad that the problem has been determined. Hopefully it's a long term fix once completed!

    That is a great setting. Oh that stinks that the longarm has been out of commission and will still be a while, but at least the end is in site.

    I'm glad you went with the chevron layout. The uneven number of blocks across worked out perfectly.

    This is gorgeous! I just love how it looks so cohesive from afar yet is scrappy up close.

    That's a lot of small pieces! But it turned out beautifully. You picked the perfect name for it.

    There is something about the cream and reds together that is so lovely. Beautiful blocks!
