Is it a quilt?

 My flannel hexagon top is finally a "quilt".


Maybe it's not a quilt? I used the same technique that I used in my Summer Blankie, combining flannel and voile, sans batting for a light weight, very soft and drapey blanket.


The two layers are held together with minimal quilting. I simply stitched 1/2" on either side of every seam. Quick and easy! Done in a day!


The voile is on the back this time and the "quilt" has a traditional, but machine-stitched binding. These blankets are so soft and very comfy for napping. {I know this from experience}


In other projects, I fell hard for Joel Dewberry's new line Notting Hill. I used the decorator weight for a new Multi-tasker Tote. {The first one given to my daughter}


And a sneak peek at the quilt I'm making using the Poppy Palette. It's making me smile!

  1. so pretty and soft! I wanna hold that quilt! (I say it's a quilt)
    You used my favorite of the Notting Hill fabrics in your back and quilt in the works...
    I have that Multi-tasker tote pattern and need to sew one up! :)

  2. The flannel-hexie-voile blankie is super cool, but the bag and sneak peak of the quilt top has me yearning for more. Spectacular!

  3. I think if it's quilted, it's a quilt! :) I love it and it looks so soft and snuggly. And I have fallen hard for the Notting Hill line too! Love that bag and I can't wait to see your quilt!

  4. Love the hexagon-flannel-voile blankie and yes it is a quilt! It is bright and colorful! Perfect for reading a great book, stitching or catching a nap. Love the bag and its bright colors. The teal and red is perfect match. Looking forward to the end product. Thank you for sharing.

    Have a super great sewing and stitching day!

  5. Yes, definitely a quilt. It's quilted so I agree with Becky, it's a quilt. I can just imagine what it feels like too! I have one print of Notting Hill voile that I am dying to make into a scarf... someday soon. Then when I win the lottery I will make a voile quilt. :)
