After a super busy week, I was able to sit down for a couple of quiet hours on Sunday and sew my rows together on Urban Winter. The quilt top is now a flimsie. (Is that how you spell flimsie, or is it flimsy?) I am very pleased with how well this pattern went together. If any of you are considering purchasing the Quick Curve Ruler from Sew Kind of Wonderful, this is a perfect first project to begin with.
The instructions were very clear, the blocks squared up easily, and everything went together without a hitch. And it was fast too! I wish I had started my education of the Quick Curve Ruler with this pattern.
Don't you think those large cream colored blocks will show off some pretty custom quilting? I do too.
Don't worry, I haven't given up on Metro Hoops. It too, is coming along well. My corner square fabric arrived and would you believe I didn't order enough? Again. Those people at Park Bench Quilt Shop are going to be wondering about that strange woman who keeps ordering half yard cuts of brown Oh My! fabric every week.
Hope you all had a great weekend. After a grueling week, I spent a lot of time sitting in my chair with my feet up!

LOVE your Urban Winter-need to pull fabrics and make this one too. Glad you’ve not given up on Metro Hoops!
Hurray! Urban Winter is a beauty and once again you have inspired us with the QCR and your cool color palette. You are speedy-quick Nicole!
I have always spelled it FLIMSY but will immediately switch to FLIMSIE — has a much finer ring to it!
Urban Winter is just beautiful and I know you’re over the moon pleased with this quilt and your growing skills with curves!! Yes, those cream squares will be wonderful for a quilting design – perhaps snowflakes, due to the name of the quilt pattern?
Bother about needing yet more brown fabric, but am glad Hoops is going well at last, too.
Hope this week is calmer for you.
Hugs!
It certainly doesn’t hurt to sit and put your feet up once in a while. It makes things a little easier once you get up and get going. And get going you did. Urban Winter is lovely and the white blocks will be perfect for some specialized quilting.
Urban Winter is GORGEOUS ! I applaud you on another great finish and for conquering this ruler. Hope you have a fun week of more sewing !
Dang!!! It looks beautiful! WIth your feet up read a book or work on hand embroidery. I’ve been streaming lots of foreign films lately. ;p
Very nice!
It turned out really beautiful, Nicole! I wish I had picked an easier pattern. My Metro Hoops is currently in “time out.”
It turned out beautiful!! Love the colors you chose!
Whenever you worry about not getting much quilting done, just think of me and you will feel super productive! This quilt is so pretty. I love it.
Gorgeous … just gorgeous!
I would go with flimsy, but not really sure? I collapse with my feet up most nights.
