Design Wall Monday #21

I am so excited to have finished piecing my Flynn Storm At Sea kit!
I am very happy with how it turned out and love the watery look of the batik fabrics. It measures about 15" x 18" without the border (which I haven't picked out yet). I will enjoy admiring it on my design wall while I figure out how to quilt it.
Hop on over to Judy's blog to get lots of design wall inspiration - Patchwork Times.
This is the third Flynn kit that I have pieced and I have enjoyed each one - click here and here to see the other ones. I have a 4th much more complex kit that I need to consult with the reps about how to sew the blocks. I see on their blog that they will be at the Vermont Quilt Festival in 3 weeks...I intend to lose a bundle of my hard earned cash getting more kits at their booth! Anyone else in blog land going to Vermont?!?

  1. Oh wait.....do you hear that.......yeah.......I do too!! It's the INSANITY that has escaped Kathy's body finally!!!!

    15x18"?!?!?! I remember uttering the insanity plea to you earlier as you were sharing the size of these tiny blocks! You simply MUST take a picture of this with a penny placed on the quilt so that the perspective can be oooh'd and aaaah'd.

    AMAZING finish.

  12. I have always wanted to make this quilt since I started quilting many years ago. Fab and this is one quilt where I would go buy the water color batiks. A show stopper !

  13. Love that quilt. I cannot believe that it is that small. Lots of work. Wish I could go to Vermont. I am sure that it is a lot cooler than Louisiana. I am about to cook down here.
