Thinking Spring but Sewing Flannel?

Elephant flannel and organic cotton

Elephant flannel and organic cotton

My little Linus pulled this fabric off the shelf at Joanne...he just loves elephants, and I couldn't possibly use letters to duplicate the sound he makes to say "elephant". I had some of the Michael Miller "leaf" organic cotton in my stash and loved the two together. A little bit of applique on a upcycled tee from Wal-Mart, and voila!

I has a bit of the "nails on the chalkbord" feel to buying flannel when I am so despeerately awaiting the arrival of spring, but what the heck. He'll wear the leaf cotton on the inside most of the time and that will keep him cool when the weather starts to change...right? Tell me I'm right...please...somebody?
