Well, it’s off to the races with the flannel wonky log cabin throws I’ve been making. It’s always been this way…I can’t seem to make just one of anything. Be it cooking, crocheting, or quilting….I tend to go overboard! I guess that’s just the way I’m wired….If one (of whatever I’m making at the time) looks this good, then by the 4th one it will be even better, or so the reasoning in my mind goes. I’ve got three of the wonky log cabin throws done and another two almost put together and ready to quilt. I’ve got yards and yards of flannel, so I haven’t had to buy too much to do these projects, and they are also a great stash buster.
This one was made for my daughter’s good friend Stacee, pictured on the right….also in this photo is my daughter Karmon and my grandson Walker…He had to help hold the quilt! Since I knew this quilt was going to be for Stacee, I prayed for her while I was making it…which makes this quilt special, it was made with love!
And here is a stack of 24 more blocks for another one! This one might be for our family Christmas get together where we usually hold an auction…with play money of course!
The start of another one for my daughter Karmon……she needs this one to throw on her couch upstairs.
These are three dimensional flannel bowtie blocks that I started making about 20 years ago when I didn’t know what I was doing…I found them in a drawer in my sewing room and started setting them together…I have enough made for a medium size throw…It’s kind of fun to finish these U.F.O’s that you didn’t even remember you had! Also in the photo is Morris my 17 1/2 pound cat….Usually Wilber kitty is helping me in the sewing room, but today Morris wanted in on the action!
Well, enough of this…time to get back in the sewing room and make some more flannel blocks.
Happy Quilting!
