Postage Flimsy

I know it's not quilted yet, that fun is still to come, but for now I'm celebrating a flimsy finish.
This was a leader/ender project that seemed to grow quite quickly as I was doing other things. Then of course I wanted to complete the floating border, so it became the focus. Its amazing what scraps can do!
In the interests of full disclosure, here is the back complete with all the seams and I've pressed most of them open - makes for a flatter surface when I come to quilt it which I hope will be soon. I think it's about number 5 of my to do list. Already 5 on the list to do and its still only January! I think I'd best make sure I do those before I add any more.
 
This will be another baby quilt, I think that makes the third I have in the wings just waiting for the births to happen. Its good to be prepared. I like the size of these projects and feel a sense of satisfaction when I complete them. Plus they make a great gift. 

Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict. 
Until next time,

    1. Hi Glinda, Thanks, yes I think I may make another. These squares started at 2" raw. I may do 2 half next time.

  3. Amazing organization to have 3 put aside ready to give away! I also smile at how it started as a leader/ender and then became the focus!
