Flannel comforter done!
 
2 Attachment(s)
Finished another big project. This flannel comforter is made mostly from Maywood flannels. The center panel was just too pretty to cut into pieces, so I used coordinating fabric for the squares. I had bought one piece of fabric two years ago in Renfro Valley, just because I loved it. Looks like brocade but is flannel. Thought it worked well with the Maywood stuff. This one stays with me. Everything else I finished this winter will be leaving, this is for our camper.

I can see why you are keeping it, it's beautiful !
Just the ticket to snuggle under while camping. :thumbup:

It should keep you warm at night in your camper. Enjoy!

Looks very cuddly

Looks so cozy and comfy!! It wouldn't go anywhere without me either. Love that it's tied.

i like your color choices -- hope your ties are tough as nails; i see you tied them in more than one place in the block --
which is a +
i have a couple quilts i tied [and weren't used that much] and that was their downfall!

I really like your quilt. I love the ties, and they remind me of those I slept under at my grandmothers house.

When you tire of it, I'll be waiting. :cool:

Great quilt for a camper! Just right to snuggle under!

My ties are tough as nails..I have another I made years ago, plus made one for each of my kids. They are all still in use and holding up well. Some people like to use crochet thread, but I use worsted yarn...here's a funny..as taught by two nice ladies in a historical museum on Ocracoke, Outer Banks, NC. They advised going trough twice with needle and yarn, then tying a double knot.

Vey nice snugly quilt!

Thank you for sharing this information. My mother-in-law made quilts for my kids years ago and they are still functioning. Consequently they seem to think if it is not tied it is not a quilt. lol I use the crochet thread but will try the yarn on my next quilt.

Love it. Looks like something my grandmother would have made.

That is a gorgeous piece in the middle - no wonder you didn't want to cut it. Sometimes I think I'm more of a fabric collector/lover than I am a quilter.

Clmay 03-03-2016 07:20 PM

That looks cozy and warm.

audsgirl 03-03-2016 07:24 PM

Oooh, that looks so cozy! Nice job.

Great looking camper quilt. Looks real "outdoorsy". If that is a word. LOL
