Did you use all flannels?

Thanks all for your praise, I am happy with the results, just not happy with the skin rubbed right off of my thumb from the scissors! I know the skin will grow back and he will love it to death, so yes it was worth it.
Yes I did use all flannel so it would be extra warm!

Thanks Daisy - when I get round to it I'll do that too! And I'll get a little suit of armour for my hand before I start snipping! :lol:

I have done several of these rag quilts, and my secret is to clips two rows at a time, sew the outer edge when you have half of the quilt done, then at the end you will just have a single row to clip. It saves the hands and makes you think you are moving along quicker. I have both the spring and the regular rag scissors, and utilize both, the F & P scissors cut through greater thickness' and always take care not to clip your stitches.
