Each quilt I make has some sort of inspirational moment - something that makes me actually start the quilt.
This quilt started with the back, this one yard piece of baby flannel.
I picked this fabric up at a garage/rummage sale many years ago. Back then, I made pajamas for the boys out of most of my thrifted flannel. I made a few more baby items when miss P was small but this one somehow got left behind. The last few times I have cleaned my sewing room I put it in the purge bag. Each time I also took it out thinking that it would make a good backing for a baby quilt. Well, this last time as I took it out of the give away bag I told myself "If you are going to put this on the back of a baby quilt you had better do it NOW."
And that's what I did. I pulled three solid fabrics in the colors of the flannel print and added scraps from the top of my scrap basket. The scraps are mostly from my recent quilts.
Here it is in all of it's washed, crinkled, and sunshine glory. I love the mix of squares and half square triangles.
I think it makes a pretty happy looking baby quilt. Not bad for a clean up the sewing room inspired quilt.
It measures 36 by 42 inches.
