It's a cold, rainy afternoon, dark and dreary. We had the perfect lunch: chicken soup, warm bread with cheese. Now how to occupy this afternoon? Get out the sewing machine--the cute little Singer Featherweight--and put the final touches on a donation quilt.
There was a small stack of 6" and 4 1/2" flannel squares in the sewing room, ready for someone to make something of them. I sewed the 4 1/2" squares together into four patches and then trimmed them to 6" on an angle. They were sprinkled throughout the 6" squares and formed a nice flannel quilt top for a child's quilt.
At Bob's Variety there was some "just right" purple flannel for backing and binding. Didn't it turn out well?

I did a meander machine quilting on this one, but chose pink for the top thread and variegated for the backing. The pink was not a good choice, as it disappeared on the pink squares. I had a few accidents: places where the loops of the meander crossed each other. Do you think a child would notice that?
