This is a local pattern designed by my LQS. I love it because it's fast , cute and Easy.
I bought some flannel charm packs of Bonnie & Camille's line called Marmalade. When a line of flannels is made they only choose a certain number of prints from the line..so I don't have a lot of variety...but I wanted flannels. SO I forged ahead.
This quilt isn't meant to be "quilted" but rather tied....So I loaded it on my frame..quilted the borders and just quilted a little star in each place that a tie would go.
If I were to do it by hand...it would take me forever because I rarely sit down.
Thanks so much for looking! Have a great night!

Charismah, your quilt is lovely, and so is your new avatar!
I made just a pillow top using this method one time, years ago. I don't remember how long it took, but for me it was anything but speedy to do only 25 "biscuits"! I think it was in the days before rotary cutters, though, so cutting 50 squares with scissors would have accounted for some of that. I loved the result, but wasn't even tempted to try an entire quilt!
The pattern was featured in Family Circle magazine, Feb, 1977, which I still have! They put a ruffle around it, which was supposed to reach the floor at sides and foot of a bed. It would have been a lot of yardage and some feat gathering all that fabric!
Some public libraries may have this magazine in microfiche or digital, or google "puff quilt" or "biscuit quilt". The instructions are out there. Some examples show the biscuits tightly stuffed, but I like the look of Charismah's much better because you can see the inner square that forms on the diagonal in each block. For blocks that finished to about 3", the one I did called for a golf-ball-size wad of polyester fill in each one.
