I started a blankety-quilty thing for my Mom for Christmas using colors that would really go well with her livingroom decor.  I didn’t like it for her.  Too dark.  Too masculine.  Too linear.  So I abandoned it and made one that was lighter, more fun, and didn’t match her livingroom decor at all!  She liked it.  I liked it.

But what to do with the half-finished quilt top?  I decided that I would go ahead and finish it and give it to my brother! Three months later, here it is!

The quilt top is flannel and cotton with a fleece backing.  It’s “quilted lite” following some of the linear design on the front, mainly just to anchor it.  The binding adds a bit of weight and it is a wonderful lap quilt!  Now, my brother hasn’t seen it yet so, if he doesn’t like the design or something, it’s going on my couch!
