Flannel Quilt Discovered and Started!

BTW, I am back with Sarah on her blog, just Whooping it up today.  Check out what other people are doing.

I have an older stash of flannels.  They would be in second or third grade if they were human. There is not a large variety and I have been a long time deciding on a pattern.

I finally found one....in my pattern notebook...

It is a series of 4 block rectangles hopscotching next to some larger rectangles.  

I don't want to show you the pattern because I may not have enough fabric for the entire quilt...I may need to tweek it a little...The borders are a little iffy.  As it is, I am using two fabrics for the larger block, other than just the one.

Here are the other fabrics...

One of the problems is the red....It is supposed to be used for the outside border as well as part of the main body of the quilt.  And I may not have enough, so I may have to punt.

I decided to finish what I can and, if need be, lay it aside and look for another border...I do have an idea, but need to see how everything turns out first... Hopefully, I won't have to wait until next winter season to come about to finish this...

Since the main section consists of larger blocks, it should be quick to put together.  As you can see, I have one set of blocks started already.  Even as slow as I am, I should have more updates and pictures by the end of next week.

Progress Report #2

My Butterfly is trying to come out of his cocoon.  I have it basted onto the background fabric and am slowly sewing everything together.

I am ready to put the binding on another lap quilt and should be showing you that next time also...

I know, Promises, Promises...
