Flannel Owl Baby Quilt

Here is one of those baby quilts that I have finished recently.  The top is all in flannels and the backing is fleece to make it extra snuggley.  Spell-check doesn't seem to think that "snuggley" is a word, but I bet you catch my drift.

I came up with the pattern on EQ7 - pretty simple, but I wanted to highlight the owls, of course.  I also skipped the batting because I find that with fleece for a backing fabric, batting can make it too heavy.

Here's a decent shot of the quilting - I find "puzzle piece" quilting is pretty fast.  It took me maybe an hour to cut the fabric, 2-3 to piece it (I had some alignment issues), 1 hour to quilt it, and another 3 or 4 to bind it.  Reasonably quick.

And I used satin blanket binding 'cause the babies love it.  This one is for a boy, but the quilt hasn't been delivered yet so I can't say for which one in particular.

And here's the back.  Now I just have to get it in the mail, along with a couple others.  :)  Linking this cuddly one up to lots of great parties, including Met Monday!  Check out my Link Parties tab!
