Flannel Scraps

Flannel Scraps
About a month ago, I organized my fabric. I pulled out all the leftover flannel scraps from other projects and started cutting them into usable sizes.
I cut 2.5", 3.5", and 6.5" squares. I put the 2.5" squares together in nine-patches and the 3.5" into four-patches. Now everything measured 6.5", and I kitted them up for throw-size quilts.
I kitted kids' flannel into 80 units per bag. The quilts are/will be 8x10 blocks (48" x 60" finished). The other fabrics, I planned for adult quilts at 10x12 blocks (60" x 72" finished). In the end, I had enough for 4 kids' and 6 adults' quilts.
The pictures below show a bagged kit, some blocks from a kit, four kids' tops, and a working picture of an adult top.
Since these are arranged randomly, I can just sit down and sew them without a lot of planning--great for those "found" moments during the day.
