Awesome quilt. And I love your quilting (as always)

So, I'm confused about the flannel batting. Are you just using a piece of flannel off a bolt or is there such a thing as quilt backing made from flannel?

Yeah, I know, I tend to stay confused :oops: :oops: :oops:

Your quilting reflects the time period of the fabrics very well. They're going to be more than pleased with the result.

Thanks Barb. I wasn't sure what design to use so I just went for feathers. I should have done my homework for period quilting. I did find out that a quilt is dated by the latest fabric used in the quilt.
