I love these quilts! So soft and cuddly and warm. If you make one, a word of caution, check your dry lint trap every 15 minutes or so. These quilts create a lot of lint and could be the cause of a fire. I always took mine to the laundry and used their dryer because they are so much larger than my home dryer. You will get lots of practice sewing a straight seam! LOL But so worth the effort! If you have a walking foot that will help keep the layers together. And be sure to sew on the bias. I had a friend who made one on the straight of grain and could understand why it fell apart.
