    Addendum: I usually make traditional patterns, such as "Flying Geese", or make up my own. I have one UFO from years ago with a pattern based on a picture in a magazine ad. What do you do if you...

    Since it is Mardi Gras, what about the walkers carry patchwork umbrellas with fun tassels? I would just make some kind of temporary cover since it is only one day. Maybe make some cute doggy coats...

    I agree that small items are easily the most likely to sell, but if you REALLY want to make a quilt, you might consider a raffle. That way, people wouldn't be spending more than $5 for a ticket. ...

    We have fleece sheets we got at WallyWorld. My husband loves them, but I think they feel clammy. Flannel is nicer.
