Whenever I find myself with a few minutes, I try and cut or sew some of the flannel scraps around this place. This week, I actually finished another quilt made from those efforts.
I am still cutting all my flannel into 4.5" x 2.5" rectangles. Right now, I am pairing a light with a dark and creating these windmill blocks. I had enough dark pink blocks to finish this one into a 40" x 48" quilt. I still have a few more pinks to cut and sew but there should be a slightly bigger quilt finished soon from the medium pinks.
The backing for this one was from the hoard of flannel fabric Kristin sent us. Thanks!
Even though I am continually cutting and sewing these scraps, sadly Mt Flannel is continuing to grow. At least, I think the warm summer will minimize the amount of flannel scraps we make. I might just need to get a team of volunteers together one day and tackle it!

What a pretty finish! Such a great variety of flannels. That must be a huge mountain of flannels because you've made many flannel quilts already!
That looks like the perfect was to use your flannel scraps! The pink windmills made a sweet quilt. Have a wonderful Sunday, Cyndy!
Happy to know you were able to find some time to sew. It's a lovely quilt too. Enjoy! ;^)
Good work on Mt. Flannel, the quilt is very cute and cuddly.
Very pretty finish. Hope you get some help scaling mount flannel.
Those blocks are looking terrific. I may have to make some like that to see if I can make a dent in any of my fabric colors!
Lovely quilt! Good luck taming Mount Scrapmore. Hope you get some volunteers joining in.
