::Mmmm Sherbet Done!::

December 9, 2009 By Katie

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.

    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.

    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!
