Dresden Stars Flimsy!

Dresden Stars is a flimsy and now measures 94" by 105".  As we all know, this flimsy will shrink during the quilting process and no, it is NOT going to be hand quilted.

As you can see, this quilt is long enough to drag in the flowerbed! I shook it well after I unclipped it from the clips. I cannot pull the flimsy tight at the top.

For those of you who are new or as a reminder, this quilt was made from 2 kits I purchased almost 20 years ago.  I've had to substitute some of my fabrics in place of the kit fabrics. The border fabric I used here is NOT the striped fabric from the kit. 

The stripes themselves were perfectly fine but there was an added design and it didn't run straight! I took one look and just folded it up. It will be used some day as fabric backing or cut up into smaller pieces where the design won't be at noticeable.

The border fabric came from my civil war fabric tub and looks fine to me.

I did not have enough of this fabric for binding so I used a piece from the kit (not the striped fabric!) that was intended for binding. 

I am very relieved to finally have this quilt flimsy finished and crossed off my list of quilts for this year. Dresden Stars is now hanging in the 'to be quilted' closet until I decide what to do with it. It may end up with a grandchild or it may be donated to a charity auction, time will tell.

Here is a link to the Dresden Star pattern designed by Edyta Sitar. I made several design changes to this pattern because I wanted a larger quilt. The kit I purchased did NOT come from Edyta but a local quilt shop.
