At work we give presents to needy families at christmas. This year I have 21 month old who wanted a teddy bear.... I have this boyd's bears fabric so I thought why not make a teddy bear quilt to go with the teddy bear????????

I want to use fabric that I have to use up stash, and I am wondering about this brown flannel

The color goes well with the boyds bears fabric I am just wondering about the plaid

What do you guys think?

I am thinking just simple alternating squares because we don't have a ton of time before the gifts need to be turned in.... unless you guys have a simple pattern suggestion???

I think that's a perfect combination for a boy.

There is a pattern which has the backing become the border/ binding. Sorry the actual name escapes me right now but there is/are you-tune videos to show how to do it. I think using the plaid as the back would be wonderful. Quick, easy, wonderful!!!!

Oh yes, that absolutely works!

I was thinking this too. It's called the Self Binding Baby Blanket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtXmuARqg38

I would just use the birthing (envelope method) for a small teddy bear blanket with the purple as the front and the plaid as a back. The fabrics go together perfectly, and my experience with Project Linus tells me that the cute fabric print will be just as attractive to a little child as one that is pieced.

Ditto .... whole cloth for each on front and back.
IMHO the plaid just does not want to be cut up and would show so nicely as the backing.
Of course ... that is a biiiiiig iffffff you have enough!

The bear fabric is as cute as can be, but I'm not sure I'd put lavender in a quilt for a boy.

Absolutely perfect! I often give a stuffed animal to kid's along with the quilt.

thanks everyone.. I did think about whole cloth... and honestly its going to be for a little girl. The lavender will work for the little girl. I have some lavender satin that I am going to use as a ruffle all around to girl it up more

I don't know what I will use as the backing if I don't use the flannel for the backing.... time to go back in the stash
