Owl Quilt is a Hoot!

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. 

It turned out well and now

the same is happening with the back.

A white strip of donated knobbly minky,

combined with leftover strips,

then widened with some leftover yardage,

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!
