I made mine during December '06. It was made out of fleece. It had black and white nine patches with red filler squares that were as large as the nine patches. I didn't know how to bind so I had just turned in the seams along the edges and top-stitched the edge. It wasn't the prettiest, but it did the trick. It was tied, not quilted. It was given to my God son when he was born the following May. He still has it. Well, he's not all that into now because he's in a superhero phase so he gets excited about his Superman and Spiderman blankets and my quilt don't fit the bill. lol
