Flapper's Fancy Again

I probably should be pulling out one of my older UFOs where I've already started to cut up fabric, but I just didn't feel like it. Instead, I've started working on making Flapper's Fancy again (using Jason Yenter's Deco Elegance fabric). 

I finished this quilt once before in August 2023, but my aunt REALLY wanted it so I gifted it her. But I still really like the pattern, so I thought I'd make it again. At the time, though, I had to buy another yard of the small medallion fabric and I'm glad I did, because I can't find it for sale anywhere right now.

I didn't want to buy any more fabric, so the rest of the fabrics are just what I had on hand that was as close as possible to my original palette.

I spent more than three hours making the center block as I am way out of practice on mitered seams so the outer edges are not as aligned as I like. If necessary, I will make another. 

I tried to cut out all the pieces at once, but I kept making mistakes, so now I'm finding it easier to just cut out and make one set of blocks at a time. 

Once finished, I will likely use the same quilting pattern as that is one of the things I liked about the original quilt.
