Fabric cafe (fabriccafe.com) is my source for 3 yd patterns. Found them at the Houston QUilt Show last year. They bundle 3 coordinating yards of fab with a pattern included for a set price. Last sale that was $15 and change for the bundle including pattern - shipping was $3 total. Not sure if that sale is still going on - promo code was SHIP. I have several of those patterns now so it's a great resource.
I also have several 5 yd patterns from other places, but those make a pretty generous sized lap quilt. These are large baby or average lap. Lots of uses for such things - even table covers, something to keep in the car - drape on a chair, toss at end of bed ....

I love it. Orange is good! Funny I was just at Walmart looking at their ornage sheets. they had two or three nice different shades. Teh only thing is that they are not 100% cotton. Do you have any problems with sewing or washing since some is cotton and the sheet is mixed?

no - but I'm pretty new at this - so no problem when I wash them, but don't know about down the road. According to this board many people use sheets - and many use the Walmart sheets.
