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 - Brenda's Stars, and the two quilts I made for Jennifer Paganelli.
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.
Quick Project
I haven't decided quite how to finish this quilt so I started something new...
Good things about the new quilt:1. It used scraps from recent quilts.2. I was unsure about it for a while but I like it more now that it is sewn together.3. I'm already quilting it.4. It used a flannel backing that I've had for years.
Lady of the Lake - Finished
I finished the Lady of the Lake quilt last week.
It has been washed and fluffed a little in the dryer.
I had fun piecing a back for it too.
I like the back as much as the front.
The quilt measures 45 inches by 52 inches.
