Flannel seeking borders

     I found a free pattern from Riley Blake called Beach Towels that worked with the pieces of batik flannel that I was given. The blocks are 10 1/2" unfinished. However, I do not have flannel for the border, which it needs to be a good comfort quilt. I looked all over online for flannel that would work (not pastels or cutesy prints). I can't find anything. If you have any idea of where else I could find some flannel to finish this quilt with, let me know. I am not going to dye flannel to finish this. The flannel is of a high quality.

  1. That pattern is perfect for your flannel pieces. I don't usually buy flannel so don't have a "source" for you - but I will look to see what I can find - ;))

  2. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. At least one of the local shops sells flannel in solid colors and soft prints. The postage is high, but have a look at https://www.trapunto.ca/collections/flannel

  5. That is a great pattern... I think it would be fine without a border.... but!! I do get some of my flannels from SewDowntown.com in Greeley co - I am not sure they have much now....
