Love and Harmony Flannel Quilt
Designed by Jean Ann Wright using Love and Harmony Flannel collection by Faye Burgos

Faye Burgos' cozy flannel, soft tonal pinks and message of comfort and support come together beautifully in Jean Ann Wright's quilt design. Vary the number of blocks to size it up for bed-sized comfort, or down for a small lap quilt, in time for October's many charitable "pink" events.

Skill level: Beginner
Finished Quilt Size: 78" x 78"
Block Count & Size: 9 Comfort Blocks - 18" x 18"
