Great colors and pattern, The quilt on my bed right now is flannel on both sides. No puckers, no problems. It seems to me that the rick is to use the same really high grade of flannel everywhere in the quilt and prewash first. (I was also told not to do curves with flannels. I don't listen very well.) Flannels come in many qualities. Watch out.

I like your colors - I haven't done a flannel quilt - I do have one cut but haven't tried to piece it yet. Maybe soon lol

Not sure but go to tube and put in Tutorials on flannel quilting. Good luck.
|
This is absolutely stunning!!!!!

Haven't worked with flannel yet - but - would making it using a Fun and Done pattern work better where you would be quilting a smaller area as you go?

Beautifully done!

Your quilt is just lovely! I made seven flannel quilts for the family back in 2005 and just finished another batch for the family. Flannel is not woven as tightly as cotton, and it can be somewhat stretchy. I found batting such as
warm and natural or 80/20 batting is better than wool or polyester because the quilt top can get mushy during the quilting process, and it is easy to get puckers this way. On my longarm, I found size 18 needle works well for FMQ. Also it helps to zigzag or serge around the edges before binding. Keep the quilting simple. Quilt books with patterns for flannel generally give basic guidelines on working with flannel. |
it's a terrific pattern and nicely done
