The One Year Quilt
Actually most of my quilts take more than a year, because I begin them and then begin some other quilt, which I also may not finish because I begin something. Sometimes I do get the new projects done before the ones I already had begun. I hope you were able to follow that. This one I started in January 2016, because I wanted to use up some of my flannel to make room for more regular cotton fabric. I did get it finished in January 2017! Yeah! Done in one year. It is a fabulous soft grown quilt. I call it a grown quilt, because I just sew two pieces of fabric together and keep adding, so it grows into a quilt. I did manage to use up all the airplane fabric and some scraps of Spider Man. I did do a cheaty binding; trimming the backing an inch from the edge, then folding it to the front as a binding. It looks awesome and is very sturdy. I like these kinds of flannel quilts because you really can launder the heck out of them and they just keep on being wonderfully soft and functional.
