I made mine using scraps of Warm and natural for batting and then cut up an ironing board cover for the back. Makes very nice potholders.

Thus, my quilting days are over for awhile until it heals. It took me forever to type this.

Ouch!! I feel your pain :cry: , I cut three fingers once and had stitches in two - it will teach you how to use them safely. Take care

Oh thank you, I am all healed up thanks to Vitamin E. Never went to the doctor or ER....I am an herbalist so don't go there for "little" things. You are kind to ask. I was quilting in three days and yes, you are right, going ever so slowly and cautiously. Patience is not my best character trait but I sure am learning!!
