Kitty Kondos Quilt Completed in 21 Days

I started this quilt on Oct 30.  My previous post, Nov 3, has a photo of the quilt layout.  I am placing it here, as well, so you can see the metamorphosis from bare bones to completed.  It is now in the happy hands of it's new owner.  

How it looked on Nov 3, on the design wall.  Scroll down.

All finished!   What a difference!

I used a flat flannel sheet, I purchased from LL Bean.  You can buy just one sheet from them, instead of a whole set, and it is high quality flannel.  I used 505 to spray baste the layers together, then I stitched in the ditch. Then between all the ditches, I stippled the rest. As I was working on piecing it together, the boxes appeared to have windows, and the blocks looked like condominiums.  Thus the name Kitty Kondos!

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.

contains cars, airplanes, trains, hocky players, Spider Man, stripes,
solids, and plaids.  Stitch-in-the-ditch mostly.
