I've been thinking about this, too. Thanks for showing up that it works out so well.

My plan has been to try tubmling blocks on a bath mat. If I don't go crazy, I can do an whole quilt. If it's too much work, a bath mat shouldn't kill me.

A great idea. I saw a magazine article a couple of years ago that said that making quilted bath mats was very popular in about the fifties. Maybe this is the way can actually get one to fit my odd space.

The towel was already like that - looks like its FMQ'd. I just sewed a decorative stitch on throught the white squares...all flowers - its a long stitch on my machine. Once top was made it took about an hour to stitch, and bind the top to the bath towel. This is a really fast, fun project. My hubby loves it. Feels great on the feet.
