It's official I am addicted

Remember the Apple Core quilt I showed you a few days ago?  I have not been able to stop making them since. I'm not sure if it's the fast and fun technique, or the fact that I now have an empty drawer in my scrap bin. Whatever the motivation is, I am so delighted with this pattern, I just can't stop myself.

 And, I did discover that a 4 block by 4 block arrangement, is in fact the perfect size for a baby quilt, too!   Hooray!!!

I took Advantage

It's been HOT here, but yesterday we were in the 60's and 70's so I took full advantage of the day to make a flannel quilt.

You see my Fon's and Porter, Love of Quilting magazine arrived the other day.

As I am flipping thru it, I spied this delightful quilt!

I've always been enchanted with Apple Core quilts, but have never took the plunge. Since these cores are a big 12 1/2" long, I decided to give it a try. Heck at best it has to be fast, right? It was!  Only 36 pieces that stitched up in a few hours.

I have some flannels that have been around for years now, so out they came. I busted thru stash, oh happy dance, happy dance!  The top, backing, binding and batting are all layers of flannel. It is a perfect weight for this quiltie!

I have a few more flannel pieces that would make great baby quilts. I am thinking about using 16 cores for them.

But that's for another day! This one is getting put away too.

It's supposed to get back into the 90's today, and I sure do not want to think about flannel!
