It was so cuddly I felt like taking a nap right then and there! 
The fabrics featured butterflies, duckies, and hearts, so I just free-motioned some of those motifs. Teresa chose a pale yellow thread which blends in with the fabrics. But when you quilt on flannel, you always get a lovely sculptural quality.
The back is a yellow flannel print which looks nice all quilted.
Then I did some fast quilting on a top donated anonymously to the Capital Quilters' Guild Quilts on Wheels charity for rest home residents. This top appears to be made from a quilter's stash of old calico fabrics. A great way to use up the out-dated fabrics for a good cause...and they still make lovely comfy quilts, don't they!
I have so many of these to do that I am trying to do FAST quilting. I just did spirals and echoed them and swooped around at high speed.
This one did not come with a backing, so I used the last of the bolt of plaid flannel that I brought home from the Flower Cottage last summer. Another soft, cuddly quilt.
I have heard from all three of my give-away winners, so I will be mailing out their fabric bundles shortly. This little drawing brought me so many lovely comments and even a new member of my local quilt bee! I sent a notice to the guild about the drawing, and received an e-mail from another Wake Forest quilter who is looking for a bee. So, I have some new blog friends and will soon have a new in-person friend! Good stuff!
