    Thank you Ruth, the front is cotton and the back is flannel. I purchased 6 yards for the front which allowed me room to match the first strip at 2 1/2 yards and than used 4 inch strips of matching brown around it to complete for a queen size. For the back I purchased 9 yards and had to match the print twice in the 3 strips. I cut a large strip off the back to fit the top. My sisters cat took a liking to the softness of the fabric and I gave her a big hunk to put in her box, since she is the "watch cat" for the quilting shop.
