Callie's Lasagna quilt

Hi Callie,
I took a look at your quilt. Looking at the fabric on the front and back, I think a holiday red color thread is going to look great on your quilt. I have two holiday quilting patterns in mind that I would like you to take a look at. Either pattern will give you quilt some good texture. Holly Horse is on the left and Holly Bells is on the right.












You also need to decide if you want a cotton batting or a poly batting. Cotton is more natural and more expensive. Something else to consider is that a flannel quilt starts off being a bit heavy, adding cotton batting will add to that.

Quilting edge to edge using either pattern, this is how the costs break out.

Using cotton batting: $113.54
Using poly batting: $102.76

Treating the border as a separate part of the quilt takes more time and would add about $20 to the price of the quilt. I could put in a holly leaf or hobby horse (stich horse) border with some loops.

Give me a call when you decide, 760-315-3299. If I hear from you by Monday afternoon, I think that I can have the quilt ready by Thursday, Friday at the latest.
