Here on his daddy's Ju Jitsu mat, is a fuzzy soft quilt made for Kai Brinkley. The fake fur looks wrinkled, but its actually colored and napped like that. This was a joyous fun campy utility quilt, made in the spirit of grandmothers of days gone by, who would piece together warm flannel scraps with no particular pattern. This one, I've seamed on the outside. After washing, these seams will fuzz up and add a bit of loft to the quilt. Then if it is laid on Baby Kai with the cozy flannel side down, it will give a little bit more room for an air layer. It is larger than crib size, smaller than a sofa throw, and designed for playing on the floor or snuggling at night.
Note: Shopping for fabric I noted that 3 of the most popular main chain stores are selling novelty prints with childrens' themes in fabrics that say "Not suitable for sleepwear." You may have to look on the bolt end, the selvedge or inside the flat card to find the warning. Don't use such flannels for quilts because they are flammable, even if these stores seem to theme the flannels for childrens' bedwear and bedding. In my opinion, these should be removed from the shelves or the warning should be prominently displayed.
