Dorm Series--6 Quilts

 

A series of whole cloth quilts I made for Narinder's nieces and nephew. All are approximately 60" x 90" (+/- 1/2"), the size for a long twin, the bed often used in dorms. All have flannel backs. All have the 80/20 cotton/poly batting Comfort Blend from Winline Industries. All took 6 bobbins. Thread colors varied. Quilting style varied. Floated the tops to quilt at Frances's suggestion. It worked very well for all 6. Loved the batting, first time using. Made 6 quilts for 4 nieces and 1 nephew, so no one had to be the "old maid" and take the last one.
