Cozy flannel comforter
 
1 Attachment(s)
My son called a couple weeks ago, wanting to know if I had any quilts on hand for sale...well, uh, no...he needed one for a special wedding gift for special friends next month..sorry, a quilt can't happen that fast...at least for me...but I could do a flannel knotted comforter...great...okay, so I quickly worked out a plan..,ordered all the fabric online...started cutting the same day it arrived.. now it's done! With time to spare...took me about 5 evenings to knot it while watching tv...its all Maywood Flower Patch Flannels and Woolies Flannel.love that collection...really liked the result, really didn't want to part with it.

Oh I love that!! It looks super warm and cozy.
Aren't our kids funny? Especially sons, they are so clueless! :D

That will be a well received gift and I am sure that the couple will love it. Very pretty.

Way to go, mom! :)

Great solution! Tied quilts are very cozy looking and I love that black floral fabric!

Kitsie 09-21-2017 10:36 AM

Oldquilter, about how big are the flowers on the black flannel? It's so lovely!

oldquilter 09-21-2017 10:52 AM

The blocks started out at 8 inches, if that helps on size..just love that collection...hard to track down, may not still be made...went searching on eBay, for the flowered and the blue checked.

Maywood Woolies is so plush! Good job!

You REALLY knew what you wanted, didn't you? It is wonderful. I love the colors too.

It's so pretty. It'll make a great wedding gift. What a special mom you are to make this. Then again your son knows or he wouldn't have asked......

Jingle 09-21-2017 06:05 PM

Very pretty and the lucky couple will love it.

Congrats on your finish with time to spare! My son also asked me for a flannel quilt. I have 2 questions about your flannel choices...did you pre-wash it and did you use flannel for the backing as well as the quilt top? I didn't know if it would be too heavy using on both sides. Thank you!

It's very pretty and it looks very cuddly. They will love it.

javin22 09-22-2017 05:36 AM

oh that does look cozy.

jennygrit 09-22-2017 07:37 AM

Love this, it looks soinviting!!

oldquilter 09-22-2017 08:14 AM

I don't pre-wash but I do make a care label, asking them to wash in cold water...and yes, I used wide flannel backing, and used ultra lite batting...still makes a heavy winter quilt. Previous projects have all washed well.

They are really not clueless, they just think we can work miracles---and sometimes we do!

Looks good. Do you have a formula for where you make the ties, and what string or yarn do you use? I have tied one baby quilt for another quilter, and it just about crippled my hands.

Yes, that's so true!!! :D

Very nice quilt. Great work and it looks so warm and cuddly.

Kitsie 09-22-2017 05:24 PM

I did find it, but wanted to know the size of the actual flowers on the pattern. Superior Thread has about 6 yds! Thanks for reply!

Clarice29 09-23-2017 06:58 AM

Nice quilt. Glad to see someone besides me still tacks instead of quilting. I prefer puffy quilts.

JoyjoyMarie 09-25-2017 09:46 AM

Love your floral print and the cozy quilt colors. Way to get after it, Mom!

osewme 09-25-2017 01:15 PM

I can see why you didn't want to give it away. It's such a pretty quilt & so inviting....saying "come cuddle under me"!

Plee1053 09-25-2017 08:13 PM

Like it and the knotting! Wished I knew how to knot!

oldquilter 09-26-2017 09:51 AM

I measured the flowers...the largest are 2.5 to 3 inches, including the leaves.,,there's also that same print, only with a beige background...still some of it out there floating around, too..Maywood Flower Patch flannel
