::Mmmm Sherbet Done!::
I took this quilt on the train from Seattle to Portland this past weekend to sew down the binding. My Mother-in-Law named it. It’s been waiting patiently for more than a year to be finished. The flannel gives it a rich feel. I so wish I had made it Katie size. I’d wrap myself in it right now.
I am having the hardest time getting clear pictures of it. It’s way brighter than the photos. It’s freezing here, so the name has a few meanings.
I did wavy stitches similar to the design lines on one of the flannel prints. It’s a mix of unknown flannels, Amy Butler flannels and quilting weight and a bit of Heather Ross.
The back is mostly this white print flannel with little squares running across.
This is an Improvisational piece really. I just cut the squares and rectangles and arranged them on the design wall till I liked it. When I get myself with an Etsy shop I’ll add it.
i love it! (i enjoy the sew down binding part…). your fabrics are so great! i want work with some flannel fabrics to…
It’s fabulous! I adore the colours. I am especially intrigued by the mixing of flannel and regular quilting cotton. I finished my values quilt with that Amy Butler flannel on the back. It’s the first time I ever used flannel and I am hooked. (I’ll be blogging about it on Friday – as the leader of that quiltalong, you are its godmother, so come by and have a look.) Hooray for flannel!
I love it! I love bricks lined up that way and I especially love the strips of little squares you added in. It’s great!
It is really nice! I love the back flannel as well. You have great colors. I think my little girl would love one of this. She is a pink and purple fan. Do you buy your flannel from bolt? or from bedding sheet?
I have not used flannel sheets before. I have heard that you shouldn’t because the weave is different. I have tried regular cotton for piecing and didn’t like the results. That is my only experience however.
I love that paisley Amy Butler. The whole quilt looks very snuggly. Nice finish!
Very pretty! I love the idea of mixing flannel and quilting weight….
Adorable! This quilt looks so cute and cozy.
Okay — I think I’m in love. Your quilt is a work of art — how can you bear to sell it? Great name for it too. I’m new to your blog, but I’m going to cruise around it a bit and get acquainted….There’s nothing like discovering a new site!
It’s really pretty – great colors, and flannel will make itnice and cozy.
That is GORGEOUS!! I recently discovered Amy Butler’s flannel and it feels divine! Great job. 🙂
LOVE, LOVE…this quilt! The improvisation is fantastic!!
i LOVE this quilt! orange and pink belong together. 🙂
