Spiral Flannel Quilt

I finished up hand binding this quilt on Thursday. After getting two sides finished at my sewing club on Wednesday night. I probably could have gotten it done, but that would have left no time for visiting everyone else's projects. =)

 

It's been sitting like this since early December when I basted this quilt and my Manly Stripes quilt in the same day.

This is actually a friend's UFO that I took over to finished for her. She had already sewn two pieces of flannel together to get one huge piece of flannel. She did this for the front and back of the quilt. I just had to baste it, quilt it and bind it. This is what friends do for other friends when they get UFOs that need to be finished. I "convinced" her that a nice spiral quilting would be a great way to finish off this quilt. Plus, I wanted to get a little more practice with this quilting style. We decided that just wrapping the binding over to one side would be the prefect way to finish off this quilt because it wouldn't require anymore fabric. She really likes the blue plaid flannel side and that side will be the front of the quilt for her.

(See the feet of one of my helpers with taking pictures last night)

I didn't like the way the pink flowered print looked with the blue plaid so I put the binding to the back of the quilt. The blue plaid looks much better on the edge of the pink flower print.

This is me holding up the quilt and my oldest crazything taking pictures.

My tallest helper was feeling under the weather, so we made do with what we had.

She actually did a good job taking the pictures. 

 

This quilt finishes at 73" x 73". I'm thinking that is would be a great quilt for having picnics outside on. Or laying back and watching fireworks in the summer. Yup, I'm ready for the cold weather to leave. Highs of 12 degrees is cold, cold, cold. We will be having a heat wave of 40 degrees today. Ya! This is also another finish on my 1st Quarter Finish-Along. I believe you can still jot down a list and post it to the Finish-Along being hosted over at On the Windy Side with Adrianne. The prizes are great incentives for finishing all those WIPs or UFOs this year. Bonus, there is no repercussions for not getting anything done on your list. So go ahead, dream big like I did!
