| I have my three flimsies finished, this is the one for my great-grandson who is almost 8 years old. He is an avid baseball player. |
 |
| This is the center of the quilt for my great-granddaughter who loves Minnie Mouse. She, my great-granddaughter, not Minnie Mouse, is 3. |
 |
| Here is her Minnie Mouse flimsy. |
 |
| Here is the center of my almost 4 year old great-granddaughter's quilt. Her daddy said she liked Shopkins and kittens. Kittens were easier to find. She also wanted her room pink purple, so I tried to have both. |
 |
| And, the kitten flimsy. |
 |
| Looks like still a lot of work to come. |
 |
| The 8 year old and 4 year old have a brand new baby brother, less than a week old, so I have some fabric ordered from Marshall's Dry Goods for a baseball baby quilt. Newborn appropriate baseball fabrics seemed hard to find. I'm hoping to fussy cut the bears (hope they are big enough to make approximately 6-8 inch blocks) and sash them with cornerstones. I seem to be stuck in that rut, but I find cornerstones more pleasant to make than borders. I am still thinking though, it's possible that I might put it with another alternate block. |
 |
| This would be for the sashing if I go with my present plan. |
 |
| And this the cornerstones. It is actually a mni print. |
 |
| My mother liked houndstooth, and so do I, so this would be the first border. |
 |
| This would be the second, larger border. Or, as an alternate idea if there is enough of the Billy Bear at Bat baseball fabric, I might use it for the larger border. |
 |
| And this will be the binding, unless I use the Billie Bears for the border, then I might use the swirly fabric above this as the binding. |
 |
| I looked for fleece for a backing for the baby quilt, but couldn't find any I liked. I did like this flannel, so this will be the backing. The baby shower is September 17th, and I'm hoping to have the 4 of these ready to give at that time. |
