    You've done some fantastic work! Are you keeping them, or will they all be leaving you for other homes?

    Thank you. The flip-flops is the easiest quilt I've done. Everythingis appliqued by machine. The only hand work was sewing the binding.

    Very nice. I like all of them. I really like the way you placed the flip flops. Most of the quilts I've seen they are all going the same direction, I like yours better.

    I started to do them all in the same place and then when most were finished, decided to move them around. If I ever do another one, I plan to place each one differently. This quilt is so easy and somuch fun cause you can't go wrong!

    I only have 4 quilts at home After 20 years, I've given away more quilts than I can remember. Now I tell new quilters to take a picture of EVERY quilt they make, put the date on the back and if you give it away, put the person's name on the picture as well. Sure wish I had started doing this 20 years ago.

    This one just looks plain ole fun. Maybe it's because my family is in FL and my teen girls like flip flops--because I personally hate wearing them...

    But I want to make one--using my daughter's pair as the pattern!
