And heck, the batting was an old flannel sheet that had a small tear in it , so I cut that to fit, and then backing... a sheet that I found for a quarter at a thrift store.. scrappy happy and warm tonight!
Cold weather does provide an incentive, doesn't it?
We're driving to Puyallup, Washington tomorrow and I'm taking a quilt with me that needs binding and having flower petals tacked down. At least the 'needed work" part is for my husband...I'm thinking of something warm if we end up stopped for any length of time. (I will have my main "car project" along.... yo-yo's. :P
I would say it's cold here...tomorrow moring predicted to be 19 degrees at 8 AM, but that's in Portland...and where you are will make us seem like a banana belt! Stay warm, stay safe adn have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Beautiful, vibrant and scrappy...what more could anyone want! Thanks for sharing your lovely quilt. I would send you some warm weather if I could....we are in for a long, hot summer after a very dry winter.
