Fourth finish for March 2024..............

The last 2 strips were cut for the binding and sewn onto the Hugs and Kisses flannel quilt.  I finished the binding by topstitching by machine on the front of the quilt.

The channel lock straight line quilting shrunk the quilt 3" widthwise so it ended up at 57" x 82.5".  I used Hobbs 80/20 batting and a medium tan thread top and bottom.



The backing and binding are the same flannel.  I'm really happy with the variety of colors in this quilt.  My flannel collection started in the mid 1990s and some of those original fabrics are in this quilt.  I sold quite a bit of flannel yardage a few years ago and I still have enough for at least 5 more quilts.

  5. I'm always surprised at how much quilting shrinks a quilt. I sounds like you have gone a long way at using up your flannel stash.

  8. The quilt turned out wonderful! I like that design and the variety of flannels makes it so interesting to look at. I could not begin to estimate how many quilts I could make with all the flannel I have!
