Naval Son requested a raggy quilt for christmas

My yougest son is in the Navy. he was home for a visit the end of May and saw a raggy quilt i had started---he grabbed it up, hugging it & said---these are the best quilts ever! can i have this one???
i let him know it was not finished & was too small for him..
so...
i finally finished it up-making it big enough- came out of the dryer today- he's going to love it!

I really like the way it turned out. Did you use mostly flannel in it? Do I see regular material mixed in too? Great job!!

there are some regular cottons & a couple corduroys in there too- the back squares are all flannel- i piece squares- the top is mostly scraps -leftovers from other projects- a few panal squares that were left over, i used cotton batting...it is lofty, soft & cuddly
