(He always wore through the knees but the rest of the pants were in good shape.) With a flannel backing this was a very heavy quilt and perfect for throwing on the ground at picnics, etc. Over the years it somehow disappeared. I'm blaming one of my kids cause I surely wouldn't leave behind one of my creations, even if it wasn't fancy. ;)
I let a lady borrow my tied car blanket that I made. We were at a cookout and it was very cold. It wasn't much of a blanket---just a cotton print on fleece. But it was a print that said Jeep and had pictures of Jeeps all over it. (My last three vehicles have been Jeeps) Anyway, this woman was visiting from out of state and must have liked that blanket as much as I did because when she left it left with her. I still miss it.
