Hit the sales, I think you would have fun making flannel baby blankets like I do. It takes me about 3hrs to make one depending on how detailed I want to get on them with the stitching. I buy all my fabric ONSALE always haha I go to Joann fabrics and buy exactly 42" of snuggle flannel fabric....I pick a color for the top and a color for the bottom. I can get my top, batting, and backing I get my top @ $3.89 and my back @ $3.89 then get my batting onsale for $3.74 the materials cost me $11.52 I sell these baby blankets for $30 sometimes $35 if I spend a lot of time on it haha. $30 in my North Dakota area seems to be the most I can get for them ahha...So I just say I clear $15...I attached a couple pictures. I think they would be fun for you to do....and private message me if you are interested in it and I can show you the fast way to make these
and little kids love them, trust me, I have a 1 1/2 yr old daughter...I also started out piecing plain block baby blankets before I decided to do solid panel flannel blankets I attached a picture of the squares green one. I am soo happy to hear that a 13yr old wants to get into quilting and even thinking about starting a small business! this world needs more kids like you! ambitious ready to start at the bottom, ready to make something of themselves even so young! good for you and good luck![ATTACH=CONFIG]388404[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]388405[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]388406[/ATTACH]
