In June, I traveled back to Chester, Vermont for a retreat with the Ottawa Modern Quilt Guild. What a great bunch of folks!
They pushed my boundaries and `made`me buy some `modern`fabric.
And somehow, they even talked me into buying flannel! Flannel is about my least favourite fabric to work with! And somehow, they even got me to agree to use a pattern to make a quilt with!
This one is for my husband, Larry. He is cold from September until June, I think ... so he likes this one. A lot. I called this one simply ... `Love For Larry`. The smile on his face as he snuggles in this, makes the annoying feel of sewing flannel ... SO worth it!

I ended up using this fabric to make a lap quilt for my daughter. These are NOT my usual colours, but she REALLY liked them. So ... the name for this one is ... `Not My Box of Crayons - a Father`s Love`.
Some of the other fabric that I bought became a UFO. I`m hoping to quilt it in a `plaid` pattern, which is far more ME than the fabric in the quilt!
