Flipped Out

Waa hoo, another finish for OPAM!
Do pre purchased Layer cakes count as part of your stash cos if they do I can honestly claim that this little sweety, ‘Flipped Out’, was made entirely from my stash?015
I’ve never made this block before and if it wasn’t for a friend displaying a quilt with the same block I wouldn’t have.  Hers looked really warm and ‘homey’ so with that thought hanging around in the back of my head I wanted to give it a good – easy 017peasy.  Even the quilting was a ‘doddle’ to do, just straight lines with lots of corners – no worries.  I added a few prairie points in one corner, again something I’ve never done before and again super easy.
Woo hoo, another finish for OPAM and something to keep me busy while I wait for Chookyblue’s SAL, ‘Tis the Season’ to begin.
Not long now, are your needles at the ready?

  1. Layer cakes count as stash at my house for sure! Love the quilt, those prairie points are awesome - are they as tricky as they look?
