Lime Doxies
I bought this fabric at a quilt guild fabric sale where I met up with Sewnoma, another QB member. It was so cute and so soft – flannel – that I had to have it, even though I had no clue what to do with it. When I got home, I found I had some backing material (very, very soft throw I picked somewhere like Ross or similar) in a perfect matching color. Done!
Well, plus my trim, which went off the rails a little. I cut 2.5" strips of black flannel, folded in two, placed between the seams of the quilt top and back/batting, and stitched around for birthing. I was planning to cut fringes so that after washing the trim would go all raggedy, but I without thinking put the raw edges to the seam and the folded edge out, so as I was trimming I realized instead of rags I had little loops. I was not about to go cut all the little loops so I left it as is. Turned out pretty cute, even so.
It went to Project Linus. It was soft and very cheery!
