Flannel In the Summer?

Here's what not to do in the summer.

Do not start making a flannel quilt.

I've had a pile of flannel sitting in my quilt room for months.

I started cutting rectangles that were 4 1/2 inchesby 6 1/2 inches.

Why that size?

It just worked with the scraps I had.

I sewed the rectangles together in strips.

And then connected the pieced strips together 

with sashing.

Pretty easy.

The width of my sashing strips were based on the amount of fabric I had.

This pattern is based on the "Chinese Coins" pattern.

I had made a smaller version earlier this spring.

Be careful to line up the rectangles from

one row to the other.

It's one of the few times that I use pins.

Add some borders.

I'm not done yet.

I'm going to add some applique on the outside border.

Just to jazz it up a bit.

I'll show you later.

Warning: Do not attempt working with flannel in the summer

if you 

suffer from sudden flashes of intense heat. 

It could be deadly!
