Yesterday we broke a record - 14 consecutive days with triple digit temps - ugh! So, what's a girl to do? Well, stay inside with the a/c and sew the day away. :-) Yes, another 'instant gratification' project. "IG" projects are really good for the quilting soul - you get to cut fabric and just sew to your heart's content without regard for much.
I used a Snippet's layer cake by American Jane and Moda (all 42 layer cakes - woohoo) to make these ginormous snowballs! The picture is awful - would have better to spread the flimsy on the floor - hmmm!!!
Two fun days in my sewing room but today I must wander out into the heat. Life must go on! :-)So as I skip away humming "Another one bites the dust", I wish you a good day and remain..........
In Friendship!

Cute quilt. Love the fabrics!
You are on a roll, Darlene! And I don't envy you triple digit weather.
I really like it a lot! That red for the setting is wonderful! Happy, Happy Quilt!
Cheerful number and you really have been putting pedal to the metal. Get on that sunscreen before heading out!
I love your snowballs! Although they would melt in your heatwave...:) Have a wonderful day!!
I do not miss THAT kind of heat. I grew up in the Southern CA desert and now I go back home to visit and melt. I'd have so many quilt tops from never leaving my a/c. Another great quilt.
I'm new to quilting and a little naive. Is a flimsy just what you call the quilt top? Now when you quit laughing at please stop by and give me the answer, LOL! I also just posted about a give-away my friend Nicole is doing. Cindy
P.S. I really like the flimsy you did. I love the fabrics. Cindy
Love your quilt! It's way too hot here too!
I hear ya about the hot weather, it's dang hot here in Phx. Cute snowball quilt.
I love the snowballs, I have one on my list! Don't envy you the heat.
For us it is not non-stop heat, it seems to be non-stop rain. Alas, the sun is coming through this afternoon. I love your quilting finish! Thank you for sharing!
Did those snowballs help to cool you off??????
Love the snowballs!
Darlene, these hot days are perfect sewing days. Lovely quilt!
I have a quilt like this with feedsack sqares. It was fun to make and beautiful like yours. Instant gratification is what I'm all about.
Oh wow! That is unbearable heat! The quilt is lovely though, hope the weather changes for you soon!
