Flannel Quilt

While I've been posting all these Fair Pix I started a flannel quilt to use during the cold months...OK it is almost Spring but right now it's still pretty cold so I'm going-for-it.

This was my start;  I had one piece of flannel that was big enough to go in the middle and a scrappy piece that I was able to cut out a number of various sized rectangles.  This project was really motivated by this charming print.  I just love it!   I found these pieces in the Bargain Garden (guild flea market).  It's got to be at least 20 years old.  I know this because I bought some at the local fabric store about 20 years ago.  I used it to back a kid quilt.  I always regretted not getting enough to make something for myself.  So when I saw this at the BG I snatched it right up!
I've made some sewing progress, I'll post when I get some pix.
Have a great week!
Cheers, CW

    I made a flannel quilt with that print back in the 90s. I still love it and can't wait to see what you create.

Winter Blog Hop and Crumbs

Here on the Central Coast of California we really can't complain about Winter toooo much 'cause nature is pretty kind to us.  We do get the occasional high winds, power outages, and if it rains for several days in a row with high tides; low parts of the town have been known to flood (that really can be a problem).  But we've none of that bitter cold stuff or shoveling snow 'til you are so tired you could just spit.  But I'm happy to be in the blog hop just to say hello and exchange info. and ideas so here's my give away... I've been playing around with jelly rolls lately.  Because I'm toooo cheap to pay someone else to cut my strips for me I've been making up my own.  So here's a bunch of strips I put together; 10 - 5" strips (one strip is hiding in the picture).  That's equal to 1/2 of a jellyroll.   I know-   jelly rolls are 2.5" strips but I figured you can cut them in half if you want or you can use the extra width for wh...
