I started this quilt in January after a conversation with our DIL. She had asked if I had a flannel quilt that needed to be adopted. 😄 I didn't, but as soon as we hung up, I went to pull a fat quarter bundle of Woolies Flannel and started cutting
I made a similar quilt using this design a few years ago, using 2 layer cakes, but I resized these blocks in order to make the best use of the fat quarters. I was able to make 4 7 1/2" blocks from each FQ
That allowed me to make an 8 by 10 block layout...making a 57"x 72" cuddle quilt.
I am trying to use what I have, but flannel is one thing I do not have so I found a green plaid for the backing and had enough for the binding as well.
I had leftover scraps and pieced those into the back. You can really see the fun quilting design Sandy used...it's called Mesa.
With everything we have going on at the moment, there's not a lot of sewing taking place, but after almost 2 months, I finally finished binding this one.

Very nice! I’m sure it will be loved!
Perfect for fall! The fabrics are great for a man or a woman.
What a beautiful quilt! The colors are perfect for autumn and it looks so warm and cozy, perfect for snuggling!
Who doesn't love a fast to sew quilt? There is so little time as time seems to rush faster and faster. I am amazed at how many quilts you finish!
Perfect quilt for the fall. Wish I could have stopped by for your chicken fried steak dinner. Looked delicious. Laura
Oh the colors are just gorgeous!!! I have a lot of donated flannels... but they are mostly pinks and girly novelty stuff that were left over from someone else making pajama pants. We shall see if this design would work for them some day. Definitely a great quilt for your daughter to adopt!
love your flannel quilt...so perfect for fall...
I love that block - it makes such a great impact - and your photo with the horses - LOVE!
