Sounds like a great idea. I'm in Florida and rarely need the warmth but just can't stand to have my feet uncovered! I spend my days in flip flops, but must have at least a sheet over them in bed or in my lounge chair. Go figure! LOLOriginally Posted by quilttiger

I made a flannel rag quilt several years ago and it was just long enough to come to the tips of my toes so it didn't really keep my feet warm. I made a pocket at the bottom and it is wonderful. The pocket is about 12 inches deep and I love it!
I guess I am going to go simple.....I would add a fleece foot pocket at the end of the quilt. Then when you put it away for the summer, you can fold it and putit inside its own pocket like a Quillow!
Put it away for summer? Then when would I ever use it! LOL This is the Sunshine State and I use my quilts all year long. Just use Quilter Dream Request loft batting so they are light weight. But I am going to add the pocket to the bottom like a Quillow. Will make one that look like a pillow top. Great ideas from all who posted here. Thanks everybody!
I would love to see, do you take the binding off first??
I would probably add a bit to 2 ends to balance. If you have enough fabric, adding a border (s) around the whole thing would also work.
