I get them from garage sales and weave rugs with them on my loom. I get them cheap because I can use them even if they are not in good shape. The rugs are great and feel really good on bare feet. Lots of people use them for bath rugs.

I a white one that I keep at the foot of my bed for nights that are just a tiny bit to cool. I had a lime green one that I cute up to make a jacket for myself. I always get compliments when I wear it. I still have a couple more bedspreads that I can cut up when I find something I want to make.

They were soft and so cuddly. My friend had a large one and when her mother dies she took her robe and made three little Boy dolls for the young grandchildre. They kept the great granny close to them.

I bought up a few and made house coats with them and they turned out nice and have held up good!! My grandaughters have them and pass them down as they grow to the next one!!

I just found a rosette one for $5 that I gave my mom.. I have them on the guest beds for the summer and when it gets chilly outside, I put my Quilts on the beds..
