Sew cute, Bonnie...how many layers of flannel do you use?

Thanks, OK. I used to use three layers, but that's really too warm for our climate most of the year. So I now use only 2 layers and it works out fine.

Cute blanket, Sewbiz!

Awesome blanket for a great purpose, sewbizgirl.

Thank you, Connie and all...

So cute, Sewbiz....perfect for a trauma blanket. So thoughtful.

Good evening everyone, thanks NZquilter and Teen, for your kind words, praying that all on the board don't have to go through this loss. Welcome on board to the UFO train Bookwork913, and welcome back JeanneS good having you on board. Sewbizgirl that is a cute finish, congratulations.

Stay safe everyone

What a wonderful finish, Rob! I love that you found the fabric you needed as a skinny bolt. Thanks for the close-up photos!

Sweet blanket, sewbiz, and what a lovely idea.

Thanks, everyone.

UFO top completed! Wahoo!

i can’t remember when I started assembling the blocks with donated Bert, Ernie, and Big Bird pieces. I do know it’s been well over a year. I would pull them out and work on them, put them away, pull them out, etc. I was planning to make enough 10.5” blocks for a 70” by 80” quilt top for my church quilting group. However, frustration and perhaps a light bulb moment had me thinking 1/2 pieced blocks and 1/2 plain blocks with a border would get me to the finish faster.

The orange is a batik and was in a donation. I had cut it into 10.5” strips somewhere along the line. It was not dyed evenly so I fussy cut 10.5” squares for the top and then some smaller squares before I cut the rest to 1.5” strips.

I still have a bunch of the Bert, Ernie, and Big Bird pieces. I am going to count them and then decide on how big to make them with scrap pieces. They will be combined with other blocks too.
