I have 2 kennels my fur babies sleep in. Those are the sizes I make. Sometimes I just pull the scrap I have and if it's big enough or about the size of, I just make it that size. No need to cut much smaller. Hancock's are having a Blow-Out sale and yesterday I got a good deal on couple bolts of fabric. The fabric was 90% off. I got 8 yards for $8.00 for one bolt and another bolt 7yards for $9.00. Then went to SA and they were having a sale on plus size at 50%. 3 patio dresses (xxxl) $3.00 each. For those who don't know what a patio dress is, it's just a house dress with a very full skirt. You can imagine the amount of fabric for a xxxl! I showed DH what I got and what it was for. He said "Puppies and kitties will be very happy. I know what we're doing this weekend" He helps me wash all the fabric and then helps sew the blankets. He likes doing the blankets the "Jenny Doan" way! LOL!!
