Yes the flannel is back on the design boards and my photography wall is back. You can see here I stand behind my longarm to take the photos. I'm hoping to get the longarm working again soon.
The 'other 16 patch' (not the traditional 16 patch) is made of Marcia Derse fabrics. The top was finished in March. I used Hobbs 80/20 batting and it was longarm quilted by Robin Diaz in vertical parallel lines.
The backing is a wide back gifted to me by a friend when she realized she wasn't going to use it. The binding is a blue stripe. It is 61" x 79.5".
I always take some close up photos for my Instagram post. This quilt is a mix of Marcia's fabrics spanning almost 20 years.
One of my favorite newer prints is in the center, the light background with 2 tone lines.
Many years ago Marcia had the graffiti print in the top right corner in one of her lines in yellow. A few years ago she added a lot of new colorations of it. I love this magenta version.
It was 91 yesterday with a feel like temperature of 99 so I only went out to check the back garden once. There are 2 tomatoes starting to turn color on this 4th of July plant.

Congrats on the first finish of the month! The flannel looks so warm & cozy
It must feel very good to have your design boards back in action. The “other” quilt is beautiful and I love the close-ups! -Roxanne
Love the quilt and the story that goes along with it.
