Thank you for sharing. I am glad you explained the 'scruffy part'. I looked, thought the seams are on the outside? no they can't be, I am blind as a bat (not an untruth either).. then I read the posts and it made me smile. I AM NOT THAT BLIND AFTER ALL! I think you will end up with that 'rag' quilt top look after a bit of wear and washing? I have a feeling that one will be a curl up on the couch blanket and no one will feel bad using it which is a good thing right?
