A "Score" and a Happy 4th of July!
That's what I said the day the package of yummy Marmalade arrived.
I couldn't stop myself - really I couldn't.
I didn't tell Budget Guy about this order so when it arrived and I was dancing around the kitchen he just stood there with his hands on his hips and tapping his foot. teehee! Then he said "another one?" LOL
I fired up the iron and started pressing while oohing and ahhhing - OMG, OMG, OMG!!! :-)
(officially a flimsy)
After a little bit of indecision I selected a pattern. It had to be Dilly Dally by Camille of Thimbleblossoms.
There are 42 pinwheels in the pattern but only 40 prints. Although I did entertain the thought, I simply couldn't repeat any prints (the others would feel a bit slighted - LOL) so I found two matching pairs of Vintage Modern that worked beautifully.

It's officially a flimsy; as soon as the yardage is available I'll select an outer border print and run for the borders. :-)
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July
(many reasons to celebrate)
We don't have any special plans today. It's cloudy and a bit overcast so we've got our fingers crossed for much needed rain.
I hope you're sewing - I plan to.
In Friendship!

Very cool Darlene, beautiful quilt.
Beautiful fabrics!!! Wishing you a very Happy 4th!
Fantastic fabric and pick of pattern is perfect. I've been waiting for that fabric line to come out.
Oop's I forgot. Happy 4th!
WOWSER! Darlene it's awesome...I love it...I heard on the weather this morning that things are favorable for your monsoon...fingers crossed for you!
Did I say I absolutely love Dilly Dally!
It's gorgeous...isn't it the best line!!!
We have some clouds too..just a 20 % chance, but I'm not giving up hope!
Your flimsie is just as cute as it can be-------can't wait for the line to hit the stores. Great pattern.
The fabrics look so pretty all spread out. The pinwheel quilt is different and I like it very much.
Great visual of you doing the happy dance while Budget Guy watches :) Beautiful flimsy! I love that pattern and agree, sometimes you just can't repeat a print in a quilt! I'm debating that just now with quilt I'm gathering fabrics for....
Wow, that was speedy! And your top came out great. It is a very attractive fabric line.
I love your flimsy!
You're so funny!! It's beautiful :).
oh that fabric and flimsy are to die for,just gorgeous.xx
The freedom to sew is certainly an important freedom and protected in our founding documents under "pursuit of happiness."
What a beautiful flimsy! I'm so impressed. When new fabric comes to my house, it sits on the sewing desk for awhile, then it might get relegated to a box or a bag. But yours immediately became a quilt. Lucky fabric.
SCORE for sure!!!!! I am droooooooling over here!! That will be great made out of that pattern. Happy 4th to the best cohosting partner ever!!!!
I bet budget guy loves to see you happy and that sure is a happy pile of goodies. I love what you did with the fabric, fabulous top!
The Marmalade fabrics are so pretty. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Dang!! You've said it for me!! "SCORE!!" :o) LOVE it!!
P
Score indeed! The fabric looks great and I love the top you've made with it all.
OMGoodness....I would have been doing a happy dance as well....! Love the flimsy!! Sooooo pretty!
Wow -- that was FAST!!!! It's beautiful Darlene. I would have done the same thing -- grabbed a few prints from a previous line -- they all go together so beautifully. Hope you had a Happy 4th!
Your flimsy is yummy!!
Wasn't the weather glorious for the 4th. We got a little rain. How about you?
I adore those fabrics! Great flimsy!!
It is SEW beautiful. Incredible really. I am very jealous. Wish it was mine.
Oh I kept that a secret too! I can't believe that you got yours all made up into a sweet little quilt now! I just decided on what pattern I was using;)
Oh that fabric is so yummy, and I love your flimsy. The pattern is wonderful.
Beautiful flimsy and going to make a spectacular quilt.
