Linda's Flannel BOM

Linda made this quilt and I believe it was a block of the month at Quilter's Harvest. Remember that really cool quilt shop that is no longer in business? It was in an old church in Shadeland, Indiana.


Just a wonderful building to house a shop that specialized in Civil War fabrics. They had lots of other fabrics, too, cute baby fabrics, and lots of homespuns. There was a loft that they hung quilts from and I bought more than one pattern because I saw a quilt hanging there that I just had to make.

While searching for a photo of Quilter's Harvest, I came across this video that I hadn't seen before:


Anyway, back to Linda's quilt...it's flannel, so I didn't want a lot of heavy quilting.


 Lots of angles and some CCs, e's and l's.



 Did I say lots of angles? I didn't quilt the side borders as I went along, but instead, I unloaded it and turned it a quarter turn and re-loaded it so that I could do the length of ruler work with less stops and starts.

Deb's Baby Quilts

Deb made 2 of these cute flannel baby quilts. Makes me want to get out my tote of baby flannels and make some myself.



I chose Hearts and Roses panto and used Pearl White Omni thread and Hobbs 80/20 bleached batting. This photo shows the fabrics much better.


And the backing:

She also make this cute quilt with cottons.




Angel Wings panto and the same thread and batting.
And the backing of this one. I had to add a piece in the center for her.

Kimmy's Bricks

Here is the first of Kimmy's 2 brick quilts. This one is flannel front and back. I was trying to figure out the pattern for these quilts. There are rows with logs sewn together with seams matching and then there is a row that is offset.

She wanted just a meander on both of these so that made for some really quick quilting. A new Omni thread for this one.


And the pieced backing:

Here's the 2nd one in yellow, gray and black. What a strikiing color combination.

This one has PermaCore canary thread and they both have Hobbs 80/20 batting.
And the backing, a gray minkee:

Mary's Fall Flannel



I finished this yummy flannel quilt of Mary's tonight. It really is more green than this photo shows.

It was quilted using Leafage by Keryn Emmerson, with Olive Drab Permacore thread and Fairfield low-loft poly batting. The thinner batting works well with the heavyness of a flannel top and backing, making it a snuggly quilt. Hope she likes it!
