It's done, it's done, it's FINALLY done! Only took three years. Three years of the Flynn Frame, falling out of the closet every time I opened the door.
The prints in this quilt came from the donated fabric that went through the Great American Smoke-Out. Remember "fabric lasagna"? Thank heavens for Febreze and a sunny day.
This quilt is absolute proof that there is no such thing as ugly fabric, only fabric that hasn't been cut into small enough pieces.
80 small scraps and 160 tiny bits of fabric were used in this quilt. Most of them were unattractive and any number of them were butt-ugly, and yet the quilt is pretty nice. It's a wonderment!

Your quilt looks great Susan.
The quilt looks great. I have heard that phrase about the ugly fabric. Just keep cutting.
I made a quilt with the ugliest fabrics also. They didn't look so ugly after I pieced them.
Your quilt looks great Susan, congratulations on the finish.

I love this, it turned out beautifully and was worth the wait!! Did you quilt it with the Flynn Frame? My dad quilts and just got one of the Flynn Frames. He is trying to get up the nerve to try it!
