Electrum

A good friend from the chapel asked me to make her a tree skirt -

photos here.

In planning a quilt, I generally overestimate the fabric a bit

because I don't want to run short and have to try to find more of the same.

But between working with Really Large Pieces on the tree skirt

and maybe - just maybe - my math skills failing me,

we REALLY overbought on the fabric.

So I did this.

The flimsy...

The blocks finish at five inches, so it's about 40" x 40".

Not big enough to snuggle under, but maybe pretty on the table,

or to hang on the wall.

... and the finished product.

I backed it with the metallics...

Not too complex (whew!),

and I'm happy with how it came out :D
