Are You Shopping For Flannel Fabrics?

Cotton Flannel Fabrics

Is cotton flannel your choice for sewing a baby blanket, quilt, or items for a layette?  Or better yet, is the question “if you could find the cotton flannel fabrics would that be your first choice for sewing baby items?  Our online shop flannels4baby.com. has been trying to find the cutest, nicest cotton flannel for you in the past 5 years.  Much has changed in the past couple of years.  It appears that some companies have decided you do not want flannel.  They have decided you do not want traditional baby prints and colors.  Is this what you want?

Are you looking for prints that are neutral, like dots, stripes, checks, and plaids?  Is this a better choice for you over ducks, sheep, or whatever novelty print is in style at the moment?

We would like your help in deciding what fabrics to purchase and so please add a comment to this posting so we can have the fabrics that you are looking for.

Remember, our website is flannels4baby.com. We have nice quality cotton flannel, a how-to page, and some cotton quilting fabrics.

It just sounded like it would be fun.  I am a little surprised at my interest in all of the new technology.  Five years ago I had problems logging on to a computer just to get emails.  I guess it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks after all. 

We would like to invite you to follow us on Twitter.  We are new to this and have few followers at this time, so help us out.  

Right now you can follow the progress of our 48 Hour Fabric Special.  Now only about 24 hours to go.  We still have fabric available and of course there are many fabrics not included in the special, but at our great prices.  Remember that free shipping on any order over $75 in the continental US.

Lets all jump into this new technology and have some fun and take a few moments to get our minds off of our problems.

Ohio Star Quilt Making the Sashing

The sashing strips are made up of the 4 inch Quarter Square Triangle Block and the 4 inch squares cut from the Fabric B.

Quarter Square Triangles Sashing

Start sewing the Quarter Square Triangle blocks together in groups of 2.  Join the sides with Fabric A so you create the appearance of a square of your main fabric in the middle of triangles.  Use a 1/4 inch seam and 10 – 12 stitches per inch.  Pin the seam at the top and bottom of the piece by putting your straight pin in the seam allowance and matching to the bottom block just as you did to sew the triangles together to form your block in the last posting. 

Sew 40 sets of 2 quarter square triangle blocks.  Press seams flat and then open them from the back then press from the front.  Divide the sets of 2 into 2 groups of 20.

Creating Sashing Row

You will be making 5 sashing rows.  For each row you will need 5-4 inch blocks from Fabric B and 4  of the quarter square triangle sets.  The layout will look like this:

B = 4 inch square of Fabric B  and

QST = Set of 2 Quarter Square Triangles.

B – QST – B – QST – B – QST- B – QST – B

Press all seams flat then open from the back and then from the front.

Row 2

You will do 4 rows using the large blocks and the other sets of quarter square triangles.

QST = Set of 2 quarter square triangles

LG BK = The large block of Fabric A

QST – LG BK – QST – LG BK – QST – LG BK – QST – LG BK – QST

Press seams flat and open from the back and press again from the front.

Once you have all of the rows made we will be sewing them together.
