this would make the perfect winter quilt...and heavy, thinking a lap quilt. Also I think you can use a seam ripper to rip the fabric.

I bought a bunch of flannel last year from Joanne's for 1.99 a yard. I think I will try to make a baby quilt doing this method. Hopefully this will motivate me to clean and also use up some scraps to make a quilt top.

She lost me at, "I started by cutting 2500 2 inch by 2 inch squares."

I have one of those chenille cutters & so far have only made a potholder! I'd never thought of backing a whole quilt this way but what a good idea!

I have never thought of backing a quilt like this either. One thing though like rag quilts, if you don't have a washer with a lint trap consider taking it to the laundromat. Also I would use the chenille cutter -with a seam ripper you are going to probably five times the work - No way it is going to cut through all of those layers!
