Friday night sew in

After a week of feeling sick and four days in bed I was desperate to do something. I wasn't up to anything really tricky so I grabbed a bundle of beautiful flannel fat quarters I purchased at the Sydney show from Picklemouse Corner..three years ago!!!


Cutting instructions were included so off I went...and after a couple of hours I was playing around with placement.


..and here's the completed top...


Yippee!!!! 

I'm a little excited by this...I told my daughter I'd started and finished a quilt top that I only started on Friday night and she replied 'hang on, doesn't it normally take you, like, 3 years...'

I suppose I've got a lot of time to quilt the thing!  Any ideas for quilting? I want something open and simple because I want to enjoy the soft feel of the flannel...concentric circles???

Thanks Wendy, for organising this virtual sew in...now  I'm off to have a look at what everyone else got up to.

    Oh I love flannel.....and those colours are gorgeous.... I like your idea of circles for the quilting... to contrast with the straight lines in the piecing.... will be lovely
