    Flannel Ragtime Quilt

     

    In my previous post I mentioned a quilt…my first quilt…that was made nearly 13 yrs ago. Long, long before I started blogging…probably even before blogs were a thing.
    I made this quilt during little boy nap-times.
    The front is warm tones and the back cool blues.
    It’s a perfect throw blanket on cold winter nights.
    In fact, there is sometimes a fight over who gets to use this quilt when we are all watching TV because it’s the best one to snuggle under.

    It’s finished!!


    I fixed my mistake and sewed like a mad woman yesterday and this morning.

    I’m very happy with the quilt. I made 3 edges scalloped and the top edge straight so it would fit more like a bedspread.

    Stats:

    • 238 denim circles cut by hand from jeans, shorts and a dress
    • countless small spools of colored thread
    • 46 semi circles and 192 5 in squares of fabric from my stash
    • 3 band-aids…pins and my fingers don’t play nicely together
    • size: 75 x 90 inches
    • weight: 8lbs
