I dug out a stack of flannel squares that have been marinating in the stash for, oh, ten or fifteen years and started quilting them. I’m doing quilt-as-you-go, because I just have a regular machine and it’s no fun cramming eighty pounds of fabrics through it; figured I’d try this method. The squares are 5.5″, and I haven’t done the math to determine how many I need for a bed-sized quilt… I also haven’t counted the squares that I have. So I guess there’s no reason to break out a calculator because the quilt will be whatever size it ends up being with the squares I have. (Whew, dodged the math bullet!)
I’ve got 18 so far; they will be joined by thin strips of fabric – probably red. I’m just doing straight line quilting, not evenly spaced but not too crazy.
