2018 Finishes - Campfire - #45

This is a quilt kit from the yearly program that Main Street Cotton Shoppe (no longer open). This program ran during the year 2007.  The program was called Lynette's Favorites, and this kit was for the month of June, 2007.  There were at least two programs that ran that year by this quilt shop, as the shop was Lynette Jensen's home base promoting her many lines of Thimbleberries fabrics.

I have to be honest, I tore into this quilt kit to use the flannel fabric or the completed quilt top for a backing on another flannel quilt kit I finished (See the next blog post for #46).   But, alas, this quilt kit had too little fabric to fit the other quilt, so I ended up going ahead and making this quilt and getting flannel backing for each one.  

The fabrics used in this quilt were all flannels, with the center piece being sorta a panel depicting a winter town scene.  True to Lynette's design, she has a tree block in the bottom row of this quilt.  She uses this design in many of her quilt patterns.

This was a simple and fairly easy quilt to sew together.  It went together fast, with little to no fitting of blocks.  Quality flannel is a dream to sew on, I just don't to chose to buy it or use it on a regular basis.

This is a close up of the winter scene in the middle of the quilt.  

I didn't opt to buy the backing of this program kits, so I had to sorta improvise, and I ended up using a red on red flannel by Maywood Studios.  

Because flannel is warm and heavier than cotton, I did not use any batting, and had it just quilted together.  Feels wonderful in the weight of the quilt.

Finally, this is a close up of the borders, quilting, and binding.
