OES184's story about the foot pocket on her sister's quilt reminds me of my sister's quilt. I had made a quillow for her teenage son to carry to the hunting camp. She mentioned that the pocket would be great from warming his feet on cold nights. Then she said that she'd "borrow" it for watching TV when he brought it back home. So, for her birthday I made a quillow of her own that had a "foot pocket." In those days I wasn't quilting but I was doing whole cloth and tying. So instead of tying, I used a decorative stitch to tack at close intervals.
