My Brother is a Owner/Op. he travels all 48 states. Some States have a idol law, so it get's very cold... He has a generator on his truck, sometimes it doesn't work. !! One day I was talking with him and he told me how cold he is soo, for his birthday I decided to make him a warm quilt.

This Quilt is all flannel, backing also.. and instead of batting I used a wool blanket that I washed to make sure it wouldn't shrink the quilt into a doll quilt.. ha ha it measures 86x96. Yesterday when I gave it to him, he loved it :) And he was very surprised.. I did a all over meander on my Long Arm that i love... and binded it with the backing flannel.

Thanks for looking !!

This is very nice, I am in the process of having a love fest with Flannel....can't get enough of it LOL (maybe that is because when i went out today....it was -7 degrees out LOL

Beautiful!
Looks very cozy & warm. I'm sure he'll appreciate that! :-)

It looks sooo nice and warm. I wish it was mine. :-D

Awww you are so sweet to make DB such a beautiful and warm quilt :D:D:D

After driving a million miles as an o/o I can tell you that
he will appreciate the gift more than you know. You are a great sister to think of him and give him a gift of love:)

Wow! GREAT gift! He'll treasure it on those cold nights. :thumbup:

My DB is 6'4" tall, he has a hard time with his feet sticken out.. of the covers.. ha ha When he lifted it I teased him, of the extra weight he will be having in his truck.. ha he watches me quilt for customers, and he tells me how pretty they all are..and he has watched me make quilts..for others.. so it was time for him to get one.. :)

What a wonderful sister you are.

Very nice! That should keep him toasty and remind him of you! Very thoughtful of you!

It looks very cuddly :-P

Great quilt! As for the idle law, isn't it interesting you can't leave a dog in a car without people thinking you are terrible, but we force our truck drivers to sleep in the cold?

Great man quilt!

Very nice and I am sure it will do the job of keeping your brother very warm!

Very Nice! Your a good sister :-)

very nice, great job!

Very nice, I love scrappy, I'm thinking of making a flannel my next project, I've never made a flannel quilt. I think my son would like one. Very nice of you to think of your brother.

Sometimes the simplest is the prettiest.

Beautiful! What a thoughtful gift!

Nice colors for a truck driver, Looks soft and warm, very pretty too. Good job.

Oh, I love it. He will never be cold again. :)

Such a nice quilt, I love flannel. With the warm blanket as batting, he will be nice and toasty warm !

Nice sister you are, he will love it, the colors are perfect.

I think you had a good idea, Lady. Hubby should stay toasty warm in this quilt.

LOVE IT!!! Sure he will too! and with your use of the wool blanket bet it is as warm and soft as can be!!! Good snuggling quilt!!

This is very lovely and what a warm and wonderful gift to give to your brother. Kudos to you.

Thst looks so cozy. I love scrappy quilts. You did a great job.

He will love that!

I love scrappy quilts. Think they are my favorite quilts. They always look warm and snuggly.

bless you sister!!!what a special gift!

What a thoughtful present. And very nice looking as well.

Wonderful cozy flannel quilt. Thanks for sharing your joy!
Wondering what kind of thread you used for this project...
I'm not sure if its best to use all cotton or polyester with flannel.

Looks warm and cozy. The plaid for the border is a great idea. I get more ideas from this site!

What a thoughtful and useful gift! It will guarantee you many good thoughts being sent your way!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

I am sure that will keep him quite warm, what a nice sis.

Very comfy, inviting quilt. The kind that makes you want to curl up in it ! I love flannel quilts.

Very masculine and snuggly looking
