Flannel Hexagon Quilt Finished

Today I am linking up with Friday Night With Friends and Finish It Up Friday.

I am really please to show you my Flannel English Paper Pieced Hexagon Quilt. It was made with the scraps I had left over from previous flannel quilts. My friend Julie let me borrow some of hers (plus I bought a few new ones because it just kept getting bigger and bigger).


It measures 84 inches by 93 inches.
I quilted it by hand using Perle 5 and Perle 8 threads.
 
 
 

My first totally hand made quilt.

Oh, except I did attach the binding by machine, then turned it over by hand. Life's a bit short to sew binding on by hand and there is not enough strength in these fingers to push a needle through that many layers of flannel plus wadding.

Hope you had some time to sew last night too.
