Recently, there was a post entitled Flannel Board Quilting<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 This quilt a variation of that technique which I so enjoy.<\/p>\n

The technique of what I call flannel board quilting requires a solid fabric (a wholecloth quilt top) with a carefully measured grid for placement of raw edged pieces.\u00c2\u00a0 These are then stitched in place and the raw edges covered with decorative stitching.\u00c2\u00a0 It is a simple, almost primitive technique, though there is nothing primitive about this quilt.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rather than a grid drawn\u00c2\u00a0with washaway marker, the foundation of this quilt is a flannel with a printed 2″ grid.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Using the classic snowball pattern, the floral pieces were cut from a silky lawn and the green squares are of pima cotton.<\/p>\n

The grid and raw edges of the pieces are covered with decorative stitching, at least 5mm wide and preferrably a little wider.\u00c2\u00a0 If the pieces have been cut on grain and heavily starched before pressing, it is almost impossible for any ravelling to occur.<\/p>\n

Machine embroidery is centered in each “snowball” and adds yet another texture to the potpourri of flannel, lawn and pima.<\/p>\n

These photos are scans of pictures from the Creative Needle<\/em> article I wrote some time ago.\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately, this quilt was badly damaged in a hurricane and I can get no better images.\u00c2\u00a0 But I hope the combination of pictures and easy\u00c2\u00a0technique might inspire you to try a quilt using this method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
