Any one add a "foot pocket" to the back of a lap quilt?

I made a ton of them in the late 80's early 90's and my sister just asked me to make her another one as hers is starting to wear our on the foot pocket (what she calls it). That's my next project LOL. What's old is new again.

Everyone likes them better with the automatic "tuck in" for the feet. :)

Hi,
I haven't ever added one to a quilt, but my husband uses his quillow all the time and puts his feet in the pocket on it. Basically the same idea, just on the quillow it's the pillow back.
Good idea actually........thanks!

So glad I found this thread, thanks! I had seen a quilt with a pocket in the back several years ago (before I started quilting) and have been planning to find info on the idea. Now that I know more about it and have a name I googled quillow and found some tutorials too. Will be nice to have the bonus of a foot warmer plus storage for the quilt when its not in use, so clever!!! I'm making a gift and already created a fairly large quilt label that I'm going to machine embroider so now I'm debating, should I plan the quilt label on the center back on the quilt pocket, or leave it in the corner like I would normally. Anyone ever put their quilt label on the pocket?
