I was pushing time to get this one done! But got it finished with days to spare!
I picked a flannel lap quilt to do for my February project..
A good friend of mine sent me those flannel shirts for bears to make that I blogged about HERE. I made those plus had alot left over to make this lap quilt! Its super warm! I have no money invested in it! My mom gave me some quilt batting that a friend of hers gave her and I already had the flannel for the back.. and the binding was some stuff I just had laying around!
Let me show you!
This is the top.. I had asked my mom , the quilter, which way would be best to "quilt" it and we both thought the old fashioned way of tying bits of yarn.. I remember tying alllllllllllllll those for my grandma when she did these quilts..
On the top of the front I used one of the pockets off one of the shirts and it is a usable pocket!
Maybe for tissue or something..
This is the back.. I used flannel I have had for some time.. looks pink here but its NOT lol this is a MANLY quilt!
On the back I put another pocket from the shirts and added a Memory label. The shirts are from my friends good friend that passed away a few months ago..
So we now have a memory quilt..
My binding is two different colors! lol Like I said I wanted to use up some stuff I already had.. At least I kept it one color!
(see my new label inserted there hehe)
I can not believe I finished this one! I don't quilt.. like at all! Entering Lovely Year of Finishes monthly sew alongs is helping sew more and get more projects done! yay!
Now I have to find a new one for March... hmmmm
