A little owl quilt is turning out to be quite a hoot!
The strips of flannel were given to me in a bag of scraps
from one of the guild's charity groups.
There was a wealth of blue and pink flannel scraps.
The little owls were part of a grab bag at a quilting garage sale.
The mention of a quilt needed for a new cousin
by one of my DILs, made my brain
jump into action and the cuteness of the
little owl print squares did the rest!
It came together right on the design wall,
with no written plan, so the spacing of the owls
is very random.
the same is happening with the back.
A white strip of donated knobbly minky,
and some more pink flannel strips,
are going together to make a nice pieced backing.
This top may or may not end up with batting
as the weight of the flannel and the minky
could make it cuddly enough without a batt.
That will be decided at the pinning stage.
~~pin, pin, pin~~
This little quilt definitely needs a batting.
The different weights of the minky and the flannel
will be evened out by a batting.
Oh the pinning was fun!
We'll see the finished quilt in a few weeks!
It was definitely a hoot!
Linking up with:
very cute and clever use of leftovers.
