There’s a box with cut up flannel shirts. Sleeves, fronts, and backs. It was time to cut further. I picked 6 1/2 inches because I have a ruler that wide and it was easy to be cutting the width of it.
The back....I’m not sure where the flannel fabric came from. It was a nice little stack and since I had no plans for them, I started cutting them up. I used a bit of the leftover monkey flannel too. I started calling it the nap quilt for little boys.
Before I knew it, I had enough blocks.
Ready for binding. Because I couldn’t wait to start the clipping part, I actually got the binding on right away. There were enough narrow pieces of the backing to use up. That was exciting to have them gone.
In three days I had a start and finish in 2020! These are mostly just the sleeves. A stack of shirt backs is still in the wings, ready to go when I am.
A week ago the forecast was calling for 1 to 3 inches of snow. We ended up with 7 1/2 inches. There wasn’t much wind, so it just piled up on everything.
I love the way it looks sitting on the branches of trees.
A week later we are just cold. The heaviest snow was targeting southern Iowa.
