Thanks to Connie H. for the flannel and pattern from Villa Rose Designs to make this tenth NICU baby quilt for the year. I adapted the pattern - it shows more piecing on the left side. I needed a smaller quilt. There is another block of light patterned fabric at the top but it was hanging over the couch.
And, a pieced back. I wasn't sure how my usual tight quilting would look with the flannel, but there is more texture than with smooth cotton. I did prewash the flannel to get some of the shrinkage out. I thought about washing it after quilting to see how much difference that would make, but I know they will wash it again at the hospital so I didn't.
I used Best Press on the flannel before I cut it out to give it a little stability for cutting nicely. I love that stuff.
