I picked up what I thought were flannel squares in a children's zoo design . Wanted to make a small children crib quilt. I discovered the squares were fleece with a knit backing. Terrible hard to sew and keep square. My design called for the 10 inch blocks to be sewn together and then cut again. However this stuff pilled all over. So I added a flannel border to square the quilt as best I could and tied it in the corners, the side seam and the middle. Used no batting as the fleece and flannel made it pretty heavy. Donated it.

I've always wanted to try the I Spy jar quilt. I attended a retreat at MSQC and found the darling Sweet Tooth candy fabric at the Licensed To Sew shop. They gave free patterns at the retreat, and it was the I Spy quilt pattern. I was surprised at how easy making the jars was, it took just over an hour to make them! My granddaughter fell in love with the quilt, so it is now keeping her warm! She's moving to a cold climate, now she can have grandma's love to keep her warm!
