Flannel Butter Tarts from Night Owl Quilting




Reneta made this great flannel version of the new Highway 10 Designs pattern called Butter Tarts.  When Reneta heard we were working on a new pattern she was eager to give it a try.  She had bought a flannel quilt kit with a pattern that was okay but not exciting her.  There were 12 Fat Quarters and enough fabric for borders and backing so she was off to the races.


Reneta chose one of the newer pantographs in my collection called Cinnamon Swirl.  It really adds some great texture to this cozy flannel quilt.
