DH flannel quilt
2 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone. Last Oct or Nov, I asked for advice on making a flannel quilt. I had never sewn with flannel before, and you guys gave me lots of great information. Well, I've finally finished it for him (just in time for spring!) and I thought you might want to see the results.
I pieced and quilted it on my vintage Viking 6570 whose photo I simply cannot upload for some reason. At any rate, I decided to keep the quilting simple, mainly because it's fairly big, so I went with SID vertically. In the center of the 6" blocks, I did a graceful serpentine stitch for variety. The border got two rows of straight stitching but I tried something new for the binding. Since I already had a serpentine stitch in the body, I went with a smaller serpentine on the binding to echo the body. It turned out pretty well. Hubby says he likes the "color palette", so I guess he has been listening! |
Very nice quilt, and I, too, like the color palette.:)
|
Really nice quilt! Its gonna be really warm, being made with flannel, plus the colors are great!
|
I really like your color choices. It looks very nice.
|
I love it! It looks so comfy!
|
Wonderful looking quilt. Will be good and warm on those cold winter nights. Great job.
|
Thanks for all the kind words, folks. I couldn't have done it without you! And to be fair, DH chose the colors ... except for the cream. He wanted all darks, but I had to lighten it up a bit. Still, all in all, it turned out well, and he is as snug as a bug in a rug.
|
I like everything about this quilt and I'm sure he use it a lot!
|
Looks like a man quilt, love the colors and it will be nice and cozy when the cold weather comes back.
|
Very nice quilt, flannel quilts are so cozy :)
|
Nice quilt, love your colors, and the neat way you did the back!
|
Great job. The colors are beautiful in that pattern.
|
All flannel quilts are dangerous!! I made one for our family room and who ever wraps up in it, falls asleep! Best program in the world on TV and that quilt just knocks you out. . . .
|
Very nice blue quilt.
|
Very nice quilt and soooooo snuggly looking. Your DH will love it even more when the weather is cold. Flannels are my very favourite quilts and I always back my bed quilts with flannel. They stay on the bed better and are so cozy and warm.
|
Oh it's lovely. It looks so soft and warm and cuddly.
|
It's a great quilt. It looks very cozy, and I love the back! Your husband has to admit that the cream adds a lot of interest. At least I think it does.
|
Looks very nice and cozy.
|
Really great quilt, wonderful work.
|
Great quilt!
|
It looks great! (and cuddly, too!) :)
