I just finished another super cute rag quilt this week and really love how it turned out. I gave it as a baby shower gift to some super great parents-to-be. I've never given a quilt as a gift to non-family before! It felt really good too!
Another friend of mine has asked me to help her make a quilt. Her grandfather died unexpectedly a few months ago and she is expecting her first baby in October. She asked me to do something with 7-8 of his flannel shirts. She also bought some gray minky-dot fabric she wants to use.
My dilemma is that she wants like 3 small blankets for her and her two sisters. That limits me somewhat.
Should I just cut these flannels in 4 or 5 inch square and back them with the gray minky-dot and maybe get another color of minky (navy?) to do some "solid" blocks?
If I did that, I would have alternating flannel and minky on one side and gray and navy minky on the other.
Does that even make sense?
