If I had enough Flea Market Fancy I would make another big enough for myself.
Mmmmm….buttery lovely flannel. In my new favorite, white!
This was my first ‘on point’ quilt. I struggled a bit with the waviness of the edge triangles, especially combined with the double trouble of flannel.
I was a spray baste virgin until the edges of this quilt required taming.
It worked quite well. I serged its edges, then sewed the binding on in the opposite direction to help lay the edges flat. Make sense? This seemed to help a bit.
Kinda hard to see, but I quilted squares using the white block as the middle and the triangles as the outer points to the square. I love simple quilting, especially with flannel. It leaves it soft and supple.
The Alexander Butterflies are a favorite.
Since my last post they have completely disappeared from the internet shopping world!
The binding I had originally planned from the beginning to be Heather Ross’s Lightening Bugs Dot in the blue and orange. Good thinking to cut it all with out auditioning it first…added to the scrap pile. Pulled this from the shelf and it was just perfect.
Some left over bits for the back. Not so exciting, but it will do.
Hate to do it, but one last indoor shot to show the whole quilt.

You had me at the colors and patterns of the fabric and then you showed me the back and the funky, not completely balanced and even layout. Good job!

Actually that binding fabric is from Windham, part of the Merry Mushrooms collection. It’s so bright and cheery it goes with lots of different collections. I especially like it with the Amy Schimler On a Whim 2 you put it with in the shop 🙂

This is really beautiful! It looks so snuggly! I have not yet tried using flannel in a quilt but the idea is very tempting, it sounds soft!
Amber says
It looks fantastic – and bummer about the binding – you have a couple scrap piles now like that yeah?! Looks like you’ll have to make a strip quilt 🙂
