Yep, I turned all that flannel into a baby quilt!
My Besties daughter is having a baby girl and I had ten days after Christmas to
whip up a quilt before the shower.
You know how sometimes you have to get one thing out of the way before you can start on another? Well that's how I felt with this, I had to get over Christmas before I could tackle a quilt.
The pattern is called "Granny Square" and very easy to do. I cut it all out in one day, assembled the squares that next day, and on the third day I put it all together with a simple stitch in the ditch to hold it all together.
The baby's room is being done in non traditional colors as you can see.
I hope the flannel will keep the baby warm this winter.
I so love to quilt and it was nice to be able to have a project to do again.

ReplyDeleteI need to get a quilt going. But I have three or four that I need to do the free motion quilting on before I start another one!! I am like you....I need to tackle one big thing at a time!

ReplyDeleteI think the little owls really make your quilt adorable.
It's sure to be warm with all that cozy flannel you used too.
Congrats on having a new addition to the family!
Congratulations! It looks so cute! Oh what fun :)
ReplyDeleteAwww. What a sweet quilt. I love the owls and the colors!

That is so cute! She will love it.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is so cute! I admire you for making a quilt! I'm too scared to try. Have you made many quilts?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I didn't realize it was flannel when I saw the teaser post. It will be extra warm and comfy.
ReplyDeleteWhat baby wouldn't be snug in that wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute, cute baby quilt! I'm so glad today's generation is making different choices from the traditional baby colors. Not that there's anything wrong with pink and blue--it was just too limiting. Your grandbaby will love the bright colors--I'm sure of it!
