If anyone else is teaching themselves how to FMQ or Stipple, you know all them 12 x 12 inch blocks that we practiced on.... well, sew at least 4 of them together to make a bigger block and donate them to your local animal shelter! The top, batting , the back and the binding is all there! Why not, I don't think the animals are really going to care how they look or what color the fabric is! I think it is a win - win situation!

Fantastic idea! That means we don't have to be afraid to try it! That's what keeps me from trying some methods: fear of not being perfect.

Mine are by no means perfect!!!! I have used ALOT of fabric and batting, LOL! I don't mind.....everybody has to start somewhere! This way as I am learning, I am also making a sleep mat for a shelter animal! We both win!

Thanks, I didn't think of that. Great advice.
