    The double knit batting is a great idea. One or two layers?

    Nice of you to do charity work!

    I use one layer of double knit as the batting.

    I love to make runners!! They are fast and I can just make it up as I go because it can be any size. I stop when I think it's done. Problem is, I don't use runners!! The way my house is set up, they would be in the way and more trouble then they are worth, so I need to find people to give them to. This cancer charity is a great outlet for me.

    The auction is in October and I hope to make even more by then.

    Fun runners. I never thought of using double knit fabric.

    I like that idea! Nice job on all of them!
