The quilt, with the bonus borders, finishes at 72" square - the perfect size to cuddle up this winter and why I wanted to make one out of flannel. Because this one is to wrap up in, I won't be adding any embellishments. I haven't added the stocking label yet either, as I think I'm going to hand embroidery the label information.
My tip for the bonus border is to be sure to select a medium value for the 'underneath' side of the ribbon and a dark value for the 'front' side of the ribbon - that's what creates the ribbon effect.
I hope everyone who joined me on this scrappy happy journey enjoyed the sew along. I know I did. I can't wait to see all of your quilts so be sure to share them on Facebook and Instagram and tag me @thistlethicketstudio!
Have A Scrappy Happy Day!

Thank you so much for sharing this quilt and your talent with us! I am wayyyy behind on it, but hey, next year's holiday is still 12 months away! This was my first "event" with your website, but I am keeping it on my list to check each month to see your future adventures. Congrats on your son's wedding (and the cute quilt you made them).
ReplyDeleteDo you have this pattern available for sale yet? My aunt saw mine and she keeps asking me where she can get the pattern. I love your work!
