I just finished this flannel quilt top using Henry Glass Flannel Essentials 8 that I got in a kit at Mountain Creek. There were light and a dark version kits. I went with the dark version because it reminds me of my grandmothers crazy quilt. I believe they still have a few kits http://www.mountaincreekquilters.com/shop/Quilt-Kits/p/Flannel-Essentials--Male-Kit-x5346710.htm available on their website. The version I made is called the ‘male’ version because it is dark.
This was an extremely easy quilt to make. The hardest part was cutting the applique circle blocks evenly. There were 3 panels included in the kit, each had four blocks that looked like an applique circle and four matching strips.
I found it easiest to roughly cut out the applique blocks, then fold in half and measure from the center to edge.

 | The pattern included in the kit was by Villa Rosa Designs named Intrigue and makes a 56 x 72 size. It didn’t have a border so I purchased extra fabric to add 2 small borders and I used the strips leftover from the panel for a middle third border. This made the quilt quite a bit larger at 80 x 96. Even Geff’s long arms couldn’t hold this one all the way out. |
It is very soft and warm. I think I will like having a flannel quilt in the winter.
