Now it's ready for the handsewing, which I'll do on the long holiday car trip:
And a close-up of the quilting, which may disappear a little into the flannel once the quilt is washed:
It is so soft, and will be very warm, I think. I think Dad will have to be careful that my mom doesn't swipe it!
EDITED TO ADD: I'm so excited to have something to link on Fabric Tuesday!!
I scrolled down to see what this quilt looked like before it was quilted. So handsome. And then, with the dimension added by the quilting, it's just so very touchable. I love it, and I'm sure your dad will, too!!!

What a beautiful quilt - it looks especially cozy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. He's going to love it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to me that you can get this kind of thing done in the few moments you generally have to spare.
Thank you, everyone, for the lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteAnd Tracie: Considering that this quilt took...*cough*...SIX YEARS to get to this point? It's not exactly speedy. :)
I'm working with flannel on a quilt right now too and loving how darn soft it is!! I really do see making one for myself in the future! And, that pattern of sawblades.. very cool! Did you follow a pattern? I also like the quilting... can't wait to see the finished quilt! (just saw this is a 6 year project -- wow, that will be nice to put a done stamp on it!!)
ReplyDeleteOh that's beautiful!! The long armer did great on the quilting too! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. I love the dark, subdued colours and the quilting looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow that is gorgeous! I absolutely LOVE that quilting, amazing work!! Thanks for linking up, so glad you had something to share!!!
ReplyDeleteLove It, Love It, Love It--It is a super creation. Your dad (and mom!) will love it!!!
