One of my local quilting haunts,

Marally Craft

, generously provided me with some fabric to make up a sample for an upcoming craft fair.

This cot quilt is an adaptation of the small quilt in my '

Abracadabra

' pattern. 

I simply replaced a row of blocks in the original pattern with some raw-edge appliqued animals from the feature fabric. 

The quilt is made entirely from flannel fabrics, mostly from Laura Berringer's range called

'Fluffy Jungle' for Marcus Fabrics

, with a couple of '

Celebrate Seuss

' flannels by Robert Kaufmann for good measure. 

The

feature print

from the 'Fluffy Jungle range proved to be perfect for fussy-cutting and appliquéing, with 'stitching lines' all but printed on the fabric for you to follow - sweet!

It is a very cuddly little quilt, and my first serious venture into the world of flannels. I found the fabrics have a little more 'stretch' or 'give' in them than quilting cottons, but were easy to use, and appliqued nicely with the help of some

Heat-n-Bond Lite

.

My bent for pieced backings continues unabated - I incorporated some left over blocks in the backing, primarily to give me a bit more width to play with since the quilt is so close to 44" (one fabric width) finished. See, there is method to my madness!
