Making a pinic blanket?
#1
My DD saw one that folds up with handles and was water resistance on the back.
Has anyone made one of these?
What would I use for the back?Oil cloth or is there something better?
Thanks Gale

you can choose from a variety of outdoor fabrics available from joannes for backing picnic quilts, they carry flannel backed vinyl for making table clothes, that would work, you could even use a heavy broadcloth, and scotchguard it.

I just bought some iron on vinyl. It is a brand called Therm O Web and I "laminates and protects fabrics and many other materials. (water resistant, durable, UV rated). Basically you fuse it to your fabric and then use the fabric to make whatever. It is clear and lets the fabric "shine" through. It was recommended to me and I haven't tried it yet. You can buy it at Hancocks (not sure where else). I found it stocked where the interfacing bolts were located.
Looks interesting. I'm going to try it on a couple things to see how it really works.
