So i cut those into the squares and used them, along with various other scraps (like a pair of OH's jeans) to make the quilt. In retrospect i wouldn't do this again as all the materials were heavy to work with and that made it harder. but it is lovely and warm. The only stuff i bought specifically to do this with was the filling and the velvet backing, which in itself, was the end of a large roll from a material shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-47739411449116874582007-09-14T13:43:00.000+01:002007-09-14T13:43:00.000+01:00thankyou!!! the one you selected was the first one...thankyou!!! the one you selected was the first one i made - it sits on the arm of the sofa in our living room, now, and i pull it over my lap when i get cold on autumn nights sometimes (instead of turning the heating on).<BR/><BR/>I'm dead chuffed with myself now..!!<BR/><BR/>keth<BR/>xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-62853705227959848692007-09-14T09:17:00.000+01:002007-09-14T09:17:00.000+01:00That's lovely, Frankie.
