What to do, what to do???
I need help!
I have two fabrics that I've been sitting on for years, the plaid is flannel (3.5 yds), the teal blue is a very fine wale, lightweight corduroy (2.5 yds). It wouldn't let me post a pic??
I've planned on making some sort of lap quilt/comforter but am stuck with my wheels spinning.
Any ideas? I'm open to anything but I do *not* want to add anymore fabrics, unless it's as a backing. I'm ok with piecing something. I'm also ok with doing the flannel on one side and the cord on the other.
Important to note: I refuse to machine quilt. I will be knotting. Or will hand quilting with a huge stitch work?
See? Baffled.
Thank you!!!

I was wondering if the corduroy would rag also, but I found some websites that mention using it in rag quilts with no problem. Here's one, but there are others: http://www.minneapolismqg.com/2012/0...-corduroy.html

My first thought was a darling vest! They are back in style and these colors would be perfect to wear. If that is too much garment sewing, a long neck scarf would be nice too to wear with your levis.

I have made rag quilts with flannel and corduroy, and the corduroy does rag - beautifully! This is what I would suggest too. I make my rag quilts with 3 layers of flannel, mixing in corduroy on top, and no batting. No need to sew an X through the squares since all the layers are caught in the piecing.

Have you looked at Pinterest? I can usually find lots of inspiration there and sometimes I just create my own pattern after looking at all the pictures. Your fabrics are so pretty and cozy looking that whatever you decide will be great.
