I'm not usually a quick quilts kind of girl, but this one was very quick and reminded me that simple quilts can be quite lovely.
It is made from this month's pattern for the Block Lotto, Stripes, using strip sets to make this quick block even quicker.
This morning, after seeing this great photo of Kathy's Flying Geese quilt (made from blocks she won from the Block Lotto earlier this year), I was inspired to take mine outside for a photo, too. After a couple failed attempts, I threw it over a neighbor's adobe wall.
I'm happy to be finished with this flannel cuddle quilt for grown-ups–it's 75 inches square and can't wait to curl up in it ... inevitably with the cats. I am joining these link parties:
Richard and Tanya's Link a Finish Friday
Amanda Jean's Finish it Up Friday
Sarah's Can I Get a Whoop Whoop?

Love the visual effect this quilt gives, Sophie and how ingenious to use your neighbour's wall :)
..and it's the perfect time, weatherwise, for your quilt finish! Stay warm!
ooh flannel--perfect for these cold days...hugs, Julierose
Wonderful holiday quilt. Made me think of the pillow mints with the strips.
I think that is one of those quilts that is simple, but not boring. One of my biggest objections to the simple and easy patterns are that they are soooooo boring. This pattern also has a lot of possibilities to make it different. Imagine it with a dark background and light bars.
A wonderful quilt, Sophie. Love it.
That is so pretty, Sophie. I saw your previous posts on quilting it too, and it looks really nice. It's sure to be a favorite to snuggle under.
So cute...still reminds me of candy canes!
So simple, yet gorgeous! Love the outdoor photo! What a nice snuggle quilt!
Beautiful quilt! And how lovely to have it finished in time for Christmas!!
A lovely finish indeed!
You're done early!! Great gift for yourself. Have a merry.
i love that! It's just right for a christmas quilt
Like your modern spin on the simple rail fence type of block .
Very very cool! You are right that quite often the simple quilts are the most effective ones!
Simple & beautiful.
I wish you an Happy new year Sophie <3
Ooo, I really like this quilt! Live the stripes :)
