I hope everyone is surviving the rain and wind! The nasty weather inspired me to finish a project that I started years and years ago! My DH and I have three boys. When they were much younger, I used to make all of their boxer shorts. I worked in a fabric store, and every time there was a flannel, or cute novelty print remnant, I'd bring it home. I was the "queen" of boxer shorts, sometimes cutting out three pair at a time! Well, I saved all the leftover scraps of flannel and cut them into 5 " squares. Over the years, I've made three other quilts from the squares, including my first quilting attempt.....which I turned and tied. The latest quilt (the last picture in "My Quilts") finishes off all the blocks. Our youngest just rented a new (to him) loft apartment in center city Philadelphia and he can use it on his bed. Another plus....instead of batting, I used old flowery print flannel, and backed it with flannel too.
