Pillowcase quilt idea, thoughts?
I learned about a month ago my 80 year old neighbor has cancer. He still goes out every day, snow blows his driveway, sees his girlfriend, and and is very active.
We have a neighbor-type friendship, and I was thinking of making him a lap quilt. A rail fence with fabric choices of gardens and boating, his favorite things. I want it to be warm, like a hug, and was thinking of using fleece or flannel for the back. I want to do something nice, and maybe that will help get me out of my slump.
My problem is that I'm not great at the quilting part so I wanted to make it a pillowcase quilt, with double stitching around. I made one of these for my grandson a few years back and it washes and wears well and it's his favorite.
I was planning on going to JoAnn's today and hopefully they have the fabric. I'd like to make it this weekend.
What do you think?
