So here is a simple fun quilt. My good friend did a similar one as a test quilt for a well known known quilt author. I looked at her quilt and took inspiration from it and created Flamingo Fun. There is a unit secretary that works with my husband who is always very grounded and will difuse a difficult situation before it explodes. She is having her forth kid. When asked what she would like in her quilt cocktail she said "Pink Flamingos!" Well with my tendency to Bright and Obnoxious it was easy on my eye to create something with my multitude of pink farics.
The inner green boarder is 1.5inches and the outr is 2.5. I could not make it any larger and still have it fit on the bright pink with white polka dot Minkie back. Love the Minkie, it may be a pain to cut and work with. I had to sew one quilting line three times before it would lay flat but well worth the pain.
Looking back on it I would have used a yellow inner boarder like I did on FF2. Who FF2 is for I have? No Clue but I had the blocks and put it togther with a minimum of fuss this summer once school was over. It is not quilted but if I put togther the front I can then quilt it in an evening. And there will be a time where there is a need and no time. After all this time I have learned to: Trust in the fabric, for it knows more then you.
