Finished the flannel throw this morning - I'm not calling it a quilt because it doesn't have any quilting. I changed my mind about the buttons and just tied it with embroidery floss where the 'squares' interconnect on the top. This is more visible if you click on the image.
The big pillow idea worked really well - the best part was no binding to sew on - and I love the prairie points. The uneven green border got trimmed again after I ironed on the batting and is now even! It was annoying me way too much!
No photo shoot would be complete without some input from Oliver Henry.
Here he is checking out the backing.
Not too bad!
Now he's wondering why the bench is here. This is not it's usual spot. Obviously smells different too!
And now we have to check everything out from below!
Even Molly got in on the action today.
I nearly forgot but the little Christmas pillow is also completed. I am a bit behind in visiting all your lovely blogs. Hope to drop by soon.
Christine,
ReplyDeleteYour flannel throw turned out so nice. It is just calling for someone to curl up with it. Good job. Looks like both Oliver and Molly approve. LOL

I love, love, love the flannel throw. The colours are gorgeous. I also love the pillow
ReplyDeleteOh, Boy! You are so quick! I love this flannel throw.... Lovery bindings....It's perfect. *S*
ReplyDeleteYour flannelthrow is beautiful and it looks like Oliver have claimed it for his. So nice with the prairie points on the border.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. You are just amazing. How did you sew the prairie points on the quilt if you didn't attach a binding and stitched it like a pillow to turn out? Hope you win the challenge you definitely deserve it. Well done.
ReplyDeleteKind regards from Liz
What a great idea to tie it! Flannel is very heavy to quilt, so this was a wonderful solutuon :o) And it looks wonderful! Well done on the finishes!
ReplyDeleteYour flannel quilt looks great, flannels are my very favourite, they are so warm and snuggly.
ReplyDeleteWell done,
Kerry

ReplyDeleteWarm and cozy are the first things that came to my mind, too. The fabrics are so pretty and the prairie points look great. I wonder if Oliver Henry is jealous because only Molly is in your header? VBG
