    I just watched a tutorial from Missouri Quilt Co using Minkee fabrics and flannel backing to make a baby blankets. But then I looked on their website and saw the same fabrics layer cakes of animal fabrics and I can just see this in a throw or lap quilt.
    To make a 50 x 80 quilt it takes two of their layer cakes at $22 each, plus shipping. Too expensive!
    PLEASE talk me out of it with good reasons why I shouldn't. I have three UFO's and all kinds of stash laying around that I ought to work with. BUT--I can just feel it.
    I don't need it!!!

    I went back to order it and it was out of stock. I can't believe it. It took me all this time to decide what to do and now I can't get it. I send them an email asking if they would have it again. Geez!

    I found other shops on line selling the fabric, but not the choice as Mo Quilt nicely packaged ready to go.

    Maybe I should have called them WIP as they are sitting there, staring at me. The tops are finished, but I haven't decided what to back them with yet.
