I loved making this quilt. I really like wholecloth quilts where I don't have to piece anything, and it's rare for me to find one I love so much. It's truly the chevron print that makes this particular quilt because you use them as a stitching guide which gives the chenille back it's fun zigzag (all explained in the tutorial I linked to above).
I used four layers of flannel on my back, and had only washed it once. It'll get fluffier than this apparently. I used a blue & white plaid, a chocolate brown, a white with teensy blue polka dots, and a light blue in that order from bottom layer to top.
The finished measurements are 41" x 49". I know Anneliese's are 45" x 45", but my flannel was 44" wide before sewing, so I couldn't get it that big. The binding is a Kona cotton, but I don't remember the name of the color.
It was a good 6-7 hours for the sewing around the chevrons, and 2-3 for the cutting (which killed my pregnant, arthritic hands), and maybe 2 hours for the binding. Not a ton of time for a quilt so lovely, but one you wouldn't want to whip up in a day. I did it over the course of three weeknights and a weekend and it was very easy to get done in time for Christmas. I cannot recommend this quilt and tutorial enough. Thank you Aesthetic Nest for your lovely tutorial!!
