Sweet Tooth. . .Is A Flimsy!--post 3

The layout 
In my last post regarding this mystery, I had stitched the blocks. I spent some time playing with layouts on the design wall. I decided to go with a symmetrical layout. Per the pattern, I needed to add some spacers to the center column which I did.

The flimsy
Then, I sewed the blocks into columns and then I stitched the columns together. Once the center was stitched, I added the borders. Taking care to ensure the blocks measured what they were supposed to measure meant that the top went together well. I only had one point that was a challenge to match.

The leftovers
There were a lot fabrics leftover. Whether I piece a back, make a new quilt and or play more with transparency is a conversation for another day. Honestly, I'm feel like I'm looking at a SHIB. (Squirrels Hiding in Bags) I will audition fabrics and determine what fabric feels right for a binding. 

I do plan to quilt this project via my checkbook. Documenting the flimsy was goal number two on my June list.

Wow! What a sweet quilt Sweet Tooth is. The transparency is amazing and your piecing is flawless. Congrats on getting this beauty to the top stage. ;^)

Beautiful quilt top. I usually have my bed sized quilts quilted by a long armer too. Gail at the cozy quilter

That turned out wonderfully, Terry! The flow of color that goes through it is so pretty. I loved your phrase "Quilt it by checkbook." I should do that now and then - it would be easier when the quilt is large!
