I'm like madamheather...I actually pieced the quilt tops when I made mine. Each family member got to pick their pattern and colors. I made my kids' when they were small and they would take them on sleepovers or to camp. They still have them and they are in their twenties now! Had to reenforce the pockets once each, but they've held up wonderfully! That is one thing I did learn, where the pocket opening is sewn to the back, reenforce inside the quillow to prevent holes tearing with much use.
