cut chenille quilt

my friend, marissa, discovered these quilts a couple weeks ago and has been making them like a mad woman ever since. when i saw her gorgeous creations i HAD to make my own. we got the directions for making these faux chenille quilts here.

its basically one layer of printed fabric with three layers of flannel sewn together with LOTS of diagonal lines. afterwards, you cut the flannel through the channels, bind, and wash. very easy. i even messed up in a few places and had the flannel pucker but the washed flannel is verrrrry forgiving.

i made my quilt much larger than the ones i have seen on the internet (no reason for a baby quilt as of right now!) but it was just as easy. love it. thanks, riss.
