WooHoo!

WooHoo!  The flannel rag quilt is done!!

It's so nice to have a finish!

Soon

Soon I hope to have this king-size flannel rag quilt completed.  I've sewn the edges/borders together and have them all clipped.  

Next step is clear off the dining room table so I can attach the edges/borders.  Moving right along!

Rag Quilt

More progress was made on the king size flannel rag quilt, but no pictures yet.  I have the last section of big nine patches sewn to the bottom of the quilt.  This is how it looked before:

Now to add all the miscellaneous blocks.  So happy to have this one so far along.

How Are You?

How are you?  Are you doing well with all that is going on around you?  I hope you are safe.

I am working on a flannel rag quilt that I have had the fabric for since around 2004.  I've been clipping the seams as I go so I don't have a big job of clipping to do.  A great tip from a friend and it is working well.

These are nine patches of a big nine patch.  I have another row of 3 nine patches to add to the quilt.  But the clipping is done on this so far.  So much easier.

I love bird watching and we have been getting Baltimore Orioles to the feeder.

Hope you stay well and safe during these days of the Corona Virus.

Rag Quilt

I'm working on a rag quilt that I had bought fabric for around 2004 as that's the date on the salvage of one of the fabrics.  I had made a bunch of frankenbatting.

Nice to use up some batting pieces this way.  You know the old adage of our grandparents, "Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do and Do without."  I also like to add recycle or upcycle.  I like that this batting isn't going to waste or the landfill.

And here are my blocks all layered, pinned and ready to sew.

Yes, it is a king size quilt as that's the size bed we have.  I still like the colors even if they are somewhat dated.  Most of all, it will be a nice warm quilt for the bed next winter.  And that's what matters most to me.

Hope you are all well and safe.
