I LOVE to sew and have always wanted to make a quilt but have been too scared to tackle it. B loves to have things with lots of characters and lots of colors so I decided to make him a quilt for my first project. I started by taking a trip to the fabric store and Flannel was 50% off so I bought quarters of several different flannel fabrics and a flannel fabric for backing. I also had a coupon for 50% of of batting so I got a twin size batting for 5$. I also purchased a pre-made trim since I was unsure if I could make one. I cut up and sewed all the squares together then sandwiched the three layers together and Machine quilted following the lines of the squares.
