I'm not sure I can call this a quilt since it has no batting. I hope in this picture you can see how soft and cuddly it is... and why I'm calling it my "Blankie".
I started with 3 yards of flannel, cut in half lengthwise, selvages trimmed and sewed together along the long edge. I ended up with a backing 54" x 80".
I cut strips of 54" wide voile in widths varying from 2" to 6".
I placed one strip along the 54" edge and added a second strip, right sides together, pinned then sewed.
I continued adding strips by pinning the loose edge of the strip and adding another.
When the entire flannel backing was covered, I trimmed the sides even.
Voila! A light, Summery blanket/quilt/blankie.
With a wonderful stripe for the binding (Innocent Crush). I'm ready for my Summer naps!
