Found: Yesterday, a thrift store find. A really sweet embroidered baby blanket that has some curious problems. It looks like you should be able to pull and it would smooth out. Like elastic. 

But, no. You can not. The only part of the quilt that is all wrinkled is the  top and backing. 

The flannel batting is perfectly flat. So curious....

Here is what I think...The creator didn't have enough flannel for the batting, so she bunched up the front and back to make it fit. =(

The top is released from the other layers. Now to pick out all the thick thread used for quilting this blanket. 

Finally all released and pressed. As you can see, the creator used a sheet for her project. It feels really great. 

How cute is this???

Stay tuned for the final transformation. =) I am really excited to work on it.

I want to make another Swoon quilt. The two I have made were gifts and I want one for me. I can't make up my mind on what fabrics to use or how I want them to look. I think I am over-thinking the whole deal.  

In the mean time, I got out my old hexies and worked on them. But I got bored. Why? I wasn't using fabric I loved. So I put them away, got out scraps and cut into yardage to use fabric I did love. It hasn't taken long for me to use all my templates! Now to start putting them together. =) I have no plan. Just having fun.
