I didn't plan to finish a quilt yesterday. Mid afternoon I decided to load this flannel tumbler quilt on the frame. Next thing I knew I was quilting it.
I used a medium brown thread on top and bottom and it really blended in well. In fact it blended so well I couldn't always tell where I had already quilted. I used a large meander and Warm and Natural batting. I decided the flannel needed a batting with scrim in it for the quilt to keep its shape with hard use.
I used one width of the darker piece of flannel on the back and a half width left over from another flannel quilt added to make the backing wide enough. The quilt is 61" x 82.5". The binding is one of the flannel plaids used in the the tumblers.
