I get to check in here so seldom any more but when I do, I always learn something. Thanks for reminding me about the dryer sheets, paintmejudy. One of the ladies in my Guild has everyone save them for her and she has made at least 4 scrappy quilts using the dryer sheets. I recently acquired a half bolt of very lightweight pellon and I am going to try that. I have used old sheets but it makes a thicker block like Mkotsch said. (post #11). Thanks to all of you who keep this wonderful site going!
