Thread: Charming Flannel Fay

Here is the quilt I finished during Tropical Storm Fay. Hence the name Charming Flannel Fay, thanks to Skeat. :D Because of all of the good vibes on this message board and a co-worker I have graduated from quilts as you go to sewing a whole quilt top and sandwiching. Hooray! And I didn’t pin it. Spray basting is the bomb! I did a very simple quilt method and NO puckers!

This quilt is a throw size. It’s the size I am most comfortable making.

Thanks everyone for a wonderful message board!

Lovely, great job. Isn't that basting spray the best!!! I pinned my first couple of quilts and this is much easier on the back, fingers, time!!! There's no stopping you now!!

So cute and love the colors. Nice potholders too.

Deb-Your quilt is great--even the back is too cute!! Way to go!!!!

very pretty and colorful! Cute potholders too!

Very pretty quilt. Did you use a pattern for the potholders? They are very pretty too.

Cute, cute! Way to go on all those projects :thumbup:

Great job! Now, what's next?

You did such a great job, and the quilting too! Doesn't it feel great to finish something? Isn't that spray so much better than pinning????? I thought it was the greatest thing whey they came out with that.

Yes, I did use a pattern. The heart is from a quilt as you go book I have. I down sized that block from 12" to 8". The other two potholders came from 101 Fun-to-Quilt Pot Holders by Trice Boerens.

My co-worker who loves to do appliques is trying to talk me into doing an applique. There are a couple patterns in the pot holder book I might try when I'm feeling braver. :D

I have already started my next project. I am using a disappearing nine patch to make an I Spy quilt for another co-worker who we are having a surprise baby shower for on 9/18. So I'm getting off the web now and do some more sewing. :D

Thank you for all of the kind comments.

Anyone how hasn't tryed the spray basting should. The only thing I'll be using pins on is the binding. Another group I belong to has been using Elmer's school glue on the binding. I think I'll stay with pins.
