Flannel Raggy Baby Quilts


Had a bunch of leftover scraps of flannel so I decided to make a couple more raggy quilts.  I cut out as many squares as I can to see which ones would go together, then try and figure out a back square for the block. 
I love designing a pattern with the squares.  I lay the squares out on the floor and then keep re-arranging them, taking photos of each possibility. Then I look at my options a few days later and pick a design to go with.


7 inch blocks made from flannel scraps from other projects

This little pink and yellow one has solid pink on all the backs. It was a brand new whole piece of flannel and it seemed to work well.

Solid pink back
I traced a heart pattern on each block and then stitched it on with my machine. That keeps the little squares of batting on the insides of the blocks from bunching up when the quilt if washed.


This is my little boy raggy quilt with 6 1/2 inch blocks

The back of each block is identical to the front

This little raggy quilt was given to Courtney Unger for her little baby boy, Maverick, born July of 2013. 
We visited the Ungers in Thompson when we went there for our mother's funeral.
These little quilts are fast and fun to make! :)
