Well, 3 more yards used in a gift for a great nephew’s first birthday. His mother mentioned play mats so I searched for DIY play mats on the web but didn’t find anything I wanted to make. Then I found fabric in my stash that has roads, vehicles of all sort, etc. I put another fun cotton on the back. I stitched along some of the roads and then felt it needed more to secure it to the batting and back, so I used the car stitch on my machine and plopped them all around. They aren’t very visible but that’s ok. Now he can play with his toys on it, learn his colors, and some words for items when he gets a little older. I made him a book from a panel and it had a truck to stuff.

Second picture is a Grandma baby shower gift which used 4 yards.
