Default Turning Twenty Again twin quilts

I had a bundle of 34 FQ's in blues and yellows (I think it was Summer Breeze II by Moda) and needed twin bed quilts for the guest room. I added 2 1/2" sashing around each block and a 6 1/2" border to make quilts, after quilting, that measure 66 1/2" x 101 1/2". I was uncomfortable with the process of mixing a bunch of wild floral prints together, but am pleased with the overall effect. They went together quickly with only 11 pieces per block. I decided to practice my FMQing and traced an enlarged stencil in the middle of ea. block and did SITD along the sashing and borders. I haven't done the meander in the border yet, because company is coming on Saturday and I need them NOW.............LOL. I hope to add eyelet dust ruffles in the future, to go along with the smocked curtains. Enjoy.
