Purging

cause it's just time!

Some flannels have been here for awhile, some are fairly new but it's time for them to go along with the cottons.  It's time for new.

I made up the pattern in my mind and then went for it.  A simple four-patch and then a block.  Alternate a few fabrics and you are good to go.

Sometimes the best thing about a piece of fabric is the selvedge.  I bought some Woolies flannel from the Hobby Horse and this delightful little piece

had the cutest writing along the edge

one afternoon sewing the blocks together 

and another

afternoon sewing the rows together.

Simple easy sewing.

then make a backing

and then the quilting

always someone supervising

two nights of hand stitching for the binding

and done

Cakewalk is the pantograph, Navy Blue OMNI thread,  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting.

I have border fabric left over so I'm planning on a pillow for us!!

It only takes an afternoon and then I'll pop it in a bag

for next fall and winter.
