I have made three tops that are big enough for a bed, but have not quilted them. I do put the lap quilts on the bed in winter when I just cannot get warm in January. I have put as many as three on top of the blankets.

There is NOTHING better than sleeping under a handmade quilt!

Good for you. We love sleeping under my quilts.

We have been sleeping under my quilts for a very long time.
Everyone I know and some I don't know have quilts from me. Since I still love making quilts I had to donate lots of them Can't store all I make. |
I love having a quilt on my bed. I don't remember ever not having one to sleep under. My Mother was a quilter and we always had one to sleep under at home. When I married 49 yrs. go, she gave my a quilt then and latter more quilts. Now that I'm a quilter I make them for my 2 sons and their family.

Glad you are enjoying your quilt. Must be so satisfying to sleep under a quilt you've made yourself!
Here in Chicago tho it's so hot I've just been sleeping under a double gauze blanket LOL (and yes, I have the AC on full blast-- still too hot for a "real" blanket or quilt!) |

A double gauze blanket is just a blanket made of double gauze fabric :)
If you're not familiar with double gauze it's a fabric that's popular in Asia (Japan and South Korea in particular) and it's just what it sounds like... a fabric made of 2 layers of gauze material. Each layer of gauze is joined together by little stitches at regular intervals. The gauze fabric is normally flat and is generally of a better quality than the single layer gauze sold in the US. It's delightfully airy and usually quite soft as it is often used for baby things. Despite being made of a super light fabric, double gauze is surprisingly snuggly but I don't find it hot at all. The double gauze blanket I made isn't finished yet because I was thinking of quilting it to a piece of muslin or making a sandwich of double gauze-muslin-double gauze. However, after testing it for a few nights I love it just the way it is, so I'll be finishing the edges soon :thumbup: Nothing exciting but here's the front and back of the gauze blanket. The top layer has yarn dyed pinstripes in black on white and the second layer is plain white. [ATTACH=CONFIG]576128[/ATTACH] Please excuse the rumpled look-- I just got out of bed :D |
Love using my lap quilt when I settled down at nites to watch tv..... with ceiling fan running!
