    Ohhh you clever thing you, just made a "Nap" size !!
    Toss it on the couch or hubbies chair and it will be used, or take to the next family get together pull it out and complain. Sure will have several offers to take it off your hands :)

    Call it a bed topper, and put it over the end of your bed.

    Make it into a "snuggle bag" and put yourself in it on cold winter nights. Kids will be delighted to use it as a sleeping bag, too!

    There times when you need a quilt that you can pull up around your ears on those cold nights, just to add extra warmth. Fols it in half and lay it across the bottom if the bed for easy access.

    Thanks for the encouragement--You all made my day. Now to finish it and then take a nap under it. I guess I have to learn to think out of the box. Have a great day!
