Finished or Not Friday - Flimsy Finish

I'm finishing flimsies/quilt tops. One of these days I'll be able to deliver some to my long arm quilters. My hold up is batting. My long armers are fairly new at the business and so they require that the quilter supply the batting. I have some pieces that I need to fuse together for some of my smaller finishes.

Tiny Tuesday is complete. I had to use scrappy white on white backgrounds and even a different white on white for the 2" outside border. It looks ok to me though. I promised Dianne at Little Penguin Quilts that I would leave my wonky fan block and my not so perfect owl and pig blocks. So they are included. I had to make one correction as I was webbing the blocks. One side of a block strip was cut at 1.5" not 1.75" as directed.  OOPS!  I don't know how I missed it when I made it, but I found it when I was sewing blocks together!  I had an extra red block that used the same fabric, so I took that one apart. It worked out fine.

I'm not fond of tiny, but these blocks gave me something to focus on that did not require large blocks of time last year when my sister was under going chemo for lung cancer and I couldn't be with her. One day at a time our mother used to say, and this helped me focus one Tuesday, one block at a time.


I didn't have enough blocks to set the colors in rows. And I wanted to be done, so I did not make extra. I used Angela's example of setting the colors in blocks of color. Angela set hers alternating straight sets with diagonal sets. I deviated from the directions and set some of my individual blocks differently. It did not cause a problem though. It may not be a organised, but it's for me. Now I have to decide on a backing.

I have another little quilt that I need your help with. The pieced blocks in the middle and the corners have a girly vibe. I want to send it to Jack's Basket.

 I have been holding on to the pink with tiny yellow dots, waiting to find a pale yellow to make hour glass blocks to go with it. This quarantine has made that kind of hard. I found a mottled cream,with pink and green in my stash. I thought it would work. I made one set of hour-glass blocks. Now I don't know if I like it. Do you like the hour-glass blocks or just the pink blocks?

Or maybe just the cream blocks?  It's so scrappy and busy, I am just not sure.  It will need a border to be 36 X 36 for the donation requirements.
Anyway, I'll consider all options. Thanks for your input.
