My answer is YES!! absolutely. I make the flimsy and love just making one for the fun of it, rather than because there is a need. Some of my favorite tops are created just this way. I save the flimsy till there is a need, then finish it. Others recommend going ahead and completing the quilt to have it on hand, but storage space is a premium for me, so I don't do that.
