I do have a scanner but would like to use the original notes - otherwise, they will get lost somewhere else. lol Laminating sheets couldn't be any heaver than denim, so I think that's the way I'll go. I'm also going to put a dot of velcro in each pocket and on each note so they won't get mixed up. The quilt will be hanging and not used, so hopefully it won't have to be washed as often. You all have a great day! It's beautiful here in KY today!
