I had so many other scrap plans for this weekend but we received a huge box of flannel from an estate sale. The top of the box looked great but it didn't take long to realize this came from a garment maker. The bottom of the box was all weirdly shaped leftovers.
I decided to just cut them into flannel bindings. I don't often put flannel bindings on quilts - only if both the top and the back are flannel. Due to the thickness of the quilt in those cases, I cut my binding at 3" wide. I am happy the cutting is through, but now I just need to sew and press all of these.
I guess my other scrappy projects will have to wait for a bit...

Flannel binding makes such a nice soft edging! Great idea!!!
That sewer must have made a lot of flannel pajamas? It looks like you got bindings for children's quilts anyway. Hope you can out them to good use! Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
That's quite a bounty from a pajama-maker! My latest estate sale bargains included some yardage with garment-shaped cutouts. I slice off the curvy ends and usually pitch (recycle) the weird bits.
Flannel makes such nice quilts, especially for those of us with harsh winters. Good job prepping those bindings!
Parts is parts and a blessing.
that's a lot of cutting at once, does it stress your shoulder?
