Thank you Butterfly. Bad news is I am sure the person who gave me the squares did not wash the fabric before cutting it. So I guess I will sew it all together then wash it and see what happens. I don't have any liguid fabric softern, only dryer sheets. But that won't make it as soft right? I will have to buy some.
My Friend's Son is 55 years old. I was leaning towards the flannel, but wasn't sure if it was a good thing. My DH suggested fleece, but i don't know that that would work. Has anyone used fleece for backing? We live in So. CA so this thing may turn out to be too warm.
Thanks for the help
Anna
