    Default Help me choose a quilt pattern? Due by 12/25

    I seem to always run into these last minute quilt issues. For a Christmas Gift for my father, I am making a flannel quilt with denim backing, no batting. It needs to be about 50-60 by 72. Odd size I know - its a throw for when he is in his recliner, and he is tall. I have solid flannels in navy, grey, green and brown. My original plan was a DSLC or D9P with a plaid flannel shirt mixed in, but the only flannel shirt of his that is in the mending pile is a red buffalo check - not my ideal choice, as it really isn't the same color scheme. I thought I would get navy or brown plaid. So now I'm debating DSLC, D9P, Falling Charms. But if I go with DSLC I'm going to end up heavy on navy, and very light on grey, based on the yardage I have. I know I don't want to do a simple block layout, but it needs to be a quick layout, whatever I choose. Any ideas?

    To add to your dilemma of choices you could do up a rag flannel quilt. They are fast to put together. Dp9 would also be nice.

    Old quilters never die, they just go batty!

    I would so love to make a rag quilt. Maybe a patriotic flannel rag in the summer. However, the flannel side of the quilt is for a rambunctious black lab. The rag side would just encourage chewing I think. Thanks for the idea though!

    Amy:

    Did I read that right? Flannel side for the dog and denim for your Dad? I would think the flannel should be against the 2 legged and the denim against the 4 legged one. I am just curious?

    I was going to say a rag quilt as well. I have been working on and off on a d9p and I don't think it's fast going at all!!

    The falling charms is my pick I just made one and it so fast and easy once I had it all cut out that is what takes most of the time. Good luck
