I LOVE finding comments! :-)<br />Yeah I've made about 3 out of need for cover to but I just bought some cheap fabric that had the squares and tied it like you. I used to find old electric blankets that were new but damaged and they'd sell them for 1.99. I used those in the insides of the quilts. I'd always try to get beige ones so the color wouldn't show through on the front side. <br /><br />Oh me to, LOVE the stories they tell! <br />No haven't read any of her books. <br /><br />Thank you two again! <br />Rosehttp://mrsbettybargain.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823978410054630995.post-58914552020425696762012-10-16T18:07:22.525-05:002012-10-16T18:07:22.525-05:00Thank you for sharing your quilts.

When I was younger, I used to make quilts from leftover pieces of fabric--backed with a sheet and yarn tied--because we didn't have lots of money to buy blankets. Our kids loved those quilts and liked to play "what outfit did that fabric come from?" Now I'm learning how to make "real" quilts. When you fix up MawMaw's quilt be sure to put a label on the back so everyone in the future will know who made it with love.<br /><br />Have you read any of Jennifer Chiaverini's books about the Elm Creek Quilters? I love her stories!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />PunkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
