As the roads are clear I'm rather enjoying it along with the children and the dog.
The temperature hmm well not quite so much, it was -9 last night brrrr and it has been as cold as -13 really brrrr.
All this cold weather has spurred me on to finish another quilt, I really loved Mum and Dad's Joel Dewberry quilt so I used the rest of the fabric to make my own.
I have been putting brushed cotton on the back of my quilts just for it's snugglyness.....it's so soft and warm.
Brushed cotton is really expensive, so I had a look into alternatives and I found you can get really good quality 100% cotton brushed cotton flat sheets in loads of colours for a very reasonable price :o) They work extremely well as a quilt backing.
Any way enough of my blethering, here it is.
It's so cosy.
Stay warm where you are,

Your quilt looks beautiful - and I've just peeked at the animal bunting - wow! Just found your blog and looking forward to exploring it a bit more x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, and the flannel backing sounds divine! We have a flannel duvet set which is so amazingly soft and snuggly (perfect in this cold weather) so I can't wait to try backing a quilt with some too. R x
