Amethyst and Iron: a Flimsy!

Woohoo!  Even if my piano key border has a touch of the wobbles at the top, I love this flimsy!  I'm trying not to think about quilting at this time, as I have a million and one things to do, but I really love how this top has turned out.

The border ate up most of my remaining short strips, so I'm down to only a few WOF purple 1.5" strips, and no grey.  We won't look at any other sizes, okay?  I didn't do well with the grey coping strips, as I think my top was a bit smaller than the original, and so I forced too much border on.  Lesson learned.
I'm brief today as we are on our way home from a trip to Colorado.

That is a beautiful quilt! Hopefully all of the border issues will work themselves out. Hope you had a safe trip home from Colorado! I live im Colorado, so I know you were dealing with some snow!

Simply awesome. And luckily quilting is very good at taking out wobbles.

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
