Linny and Terry, glad you liked them. I enjoyed making these little guys. These are the last anything I made on my old machine. I bought a new machine and was afraid to use it on the minis because I didn't know how to use it yet and didn't want to mess up too bad.lol. The silver on the gray quilt is "I don't know what it is called" but has a shiny front and a cotton back, kinda like pleather but thinner. I don't know if that is any help.lol
