Would You Have Bought This?
#1
I was at the local Goodwill store today and found a deep red wool blanket for $2.99. I wonder if I should have bought it. I kept thinking there was something crafty I could have made with it. I know wool at the lqs is expensive.

One of my former quilting buddies used wool blankets for batting. She didn't use red, but didn't seem to have problems with the other colors. I'm guessing she washed the quilts after they were quilted. She never said there was a problem and we didn't think to ask.

That's interesting to know that wool could be used as batting. It feels heavy to me. This blanket looked like it had been washed too and was smaller than a twin size. Still thinking about what else could be done with it.
