Finished Flimsys: I have a total of 4 quilts with tops and backs ready for quilting. Those are the Communique quilt, Double Exposure quilt, String Theory quilt, and Impromptu quilt.

Read MoreExtra! Extra! Communique Quilt Top Complete!
After a previous “finish” of a throw sized quilt from my Communique fabric panel, I decided that the quilt looked so nice that I really wanted a larger quilt that I could use on the bed. After all, I have a dozen or so throw sized quilts already. Why not make something that I could…

It feels like it’s taking forever, but I’m slowly making progress expanding my throw sized Communique quilt top into a king sized version that I can really get some use out of. The original quilt was designed to be 54×72″, while the new version will measure 102×96″. I have already completed the top and bottom…
