Okay fellow quilters, here is the finished quilt for my sister. I decided to wait and give it to her for Christmas. She has done her bedroom in pink, this is why the color choice.

That's so pretty! I bet she will love it. Where did you get that label? It's so cute.

I put flannel in the middle but cut it 2" shorter than the main block. It frays and fluffs good with 2 layers and is easier to cut at the seams. I do 1/2" seams.

I have a book of transfers that I purchase at Hancock fabric a couple of years ago. Then I just crossed stitched the design.

I did not add anything in the middle of the above quilt. I just used the two layers of flannel. This worked just fine. And believe me it is still warm enough even for the winter. I have also made others with the batting in the middle. I have also placed flannel in the middle when making a rag purse out cotton so that it would fray.
