Default Finished mine; ready for a snuggle buddy

I was able to find a Kona cotton solid that matched well enough so I put on a wider border. I used super soft Killington flannel for the back (flannel is my favorite backing for snuggle quilts). I used a very simple, but pretty, Spiral Circle panto for the quilting. I don't use much Kona cotton and found that stuff ravels like crazy. I also learned that I will never use a method for HST that has a bias edge again. I had a Wonder-cut ruler that I had never used and I tried it. Although this method makes a lot of HST fast I do not like to work with bias edges even when starched and I am a very seasoned seamstress/quilter.... meaning old. The sagging with these bias edges causes extra fullness when quilting. (Sorry for the poor picture quality.)
