The flimsy from the Square Dance Mystery is done. It’s 24″ square. I’m debating whether or not to put a border on it. The directions for assembling this quilt are well written. And see that centre star? She has a unique technique for making those long half triangle squares. It was easy! No messing with weird shapes. If you want to make this little topper or a bigger quilt, the steps are still available at “From My Carolina Home.”
Do you remember?
Way back in February, my husband and I had a sandwiching marathon. You can read about it HERE
They are all completed: You can read the blog post on each finish. From Top to bottom they are:
- Guild Mystery Quilt – Queen sized
- Scrappy Bargello
- Labyrinth #2
- “Like Gina’s Comma” was changed to “Summer Envy” and now lives on our guest bed for the summer.
- On Ringo Lake
Happy Quilting!

I’m going to have to go read about those half rectangle shapes…I struggle with those. And a huge pat on the back to you for finishing all those quilts!

Yes, Tish, she has a brilliant solution for those shapes. It does waste a bit of material – but for avoiding headaches- I think it’s worth it!
Happy Quilting! 🙂

That’s a lot of beautiful, finished quilts! I like to layer a lot of quilts at once as well. I’m impressed that you got square dance done so quickly!

Thanks, Emily! I’m glad I’m not the only one that sandwiches a bunch at once! Actually, Square Dance was pretty easy!

Hi Gail!
What a great topper. Wow – I can’t believe you have all those quilts finished from the layering marathon. Doesn’t that feel just great?!! I know it does.
Happy Sunday! ~smile~ Roseanne

Thanks, Roseanne! Yes, it does feel great!
Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’m sure there will be another sandwiching marathon in the very near future. It certainly helps to get those UFOs done, done, done!
Happy Quilting! 🙂

I would add borders to Square Dance I think. Love those warm colors! Congratulations on the five quilt finishes! Wow you blow me away. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your opinion on adding borders. I’m thinking I will!
The fabric is all “Kansas Troubles.” They’ve been a favourite of mine ever since I found out about them.
Happy Quilting! 🙂

That funky star is cool. I haven’t used it in a quilt yet but it does look fun to try.
