It’s really great when I get to quilt one of my own quilts, especially when they are gifts for special people. This is a fun, fast quilt to put together from a pre-cut kit available at The Fabric Stash Club. I think I have made 8 of these and still don’t have one for myself! You just stack the squares together and stitch around the edges. Wavy outline quilting and the Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select batting adds lots of texture. The completed quilt is machine washed and dried giving it that antique, soft and cuddly look. The edges are going to fray which gives it a tattered look. The combination of 100% cotton batting and homespun or yarn dyed flannel are necessary for that effect. Just for fun, I added a greeting to the borders congratulating the recipients on their 50th wedding anniversary!
