I'm just starting on a "Flip Flop" quilt. It has nine 12-inch blocks--each with a different color on the flip flop. The straps are 3-D from ribbon and the toe has a button embellishment. I think this will be fun. The fabric I have for the back is polka dot flip flops on a blue background.

Whole block

Thanks. I'm so glad you like my block. I have four projects going at the same time, so it'll be a slow process to get all nine put together. I will post pictures.

The background is similar to beach sand in a way. Flip Flops on the Beach! I like the ribbon and the buttons. Please post more when you can!

Yes, I caught the beach sand appearance too. It's actually scraps from a quilt back that I made for my son and new DIL. Love it when I can use my scraps!

Very neat, love the flip flops!

Quilting Aggi {think that's the correct member (the one who just had a baby)} made alot of totes awhile back with these flip flop designs.
Cute quilt block!

I have a daughter-in-law who would love this. The added ribbon for straps & the button really add zip

The flip flop fabric was a birthday/mother's day gift from my youngest son (age 26). It's a Moda collection (new) called Animal Alphabet. The background is a scrap from something else. I don't know who designed it. It's a batik.
