How about a back drop for Christmas, sew something on it as is. :)

For that price,keep it in your car in case you get stranded! This weather is wicked!

I would have bought it just because--- :lol:

I just finished a flannel ( front & back) rag quilt that I used washed wool for the batting. It is soooooo heavy. But I wanted it in our travel trailer and we love it. I would buy it if it was still there. Tomorrow is 1/2 off at our local GW Boutique I will be searching out buys.

...thanks for all the great information! and I have a red blanket w/ the black stripes downstairs. Will have to see if it has a maker label on it! |
I have used wool blankets as batting, especially for lap quilts that get dragged off to sports events, so I definitely would have bought it.

I bought 2 wool blankets at a thrift store. Washed them and they are wonderful. DGS wanted one and he loves it too. The 2nd one is in the MH.
