A Flannel Quilt for July 4


This is the second small flannel quilt I've made from scraps someone gave me. For this one, I chose airplanes, trains, trucks, hot rods, boats, scooters, some solid pieces, a few pieces with a sports theme (the orange ones), and some with small flat-head screws on them (the red ones). I used a zig zag stitch, my Singer 401, and a walking foot, the same as I did with the quilt I told you about on June 9. To make the binding, I brought the backing fabric toward the front of the quilt, turned the raw edge under, and machine stitched it in place.


I have a lot of scraps left and a few ideas for what I want to do with them, so expect more posts like this one -- eventually!
