You know I like using up everything I can … it’s been cold here in VA and I ordered some flannel sheets. We don’t use king size pillowcases … and I typically resize them for a standard pillow but neither of us use flannel pillowcases. There were 2 with the sheet set I’d ordered and Keith asked if I wanted him to throw them away …. I looked at them and said …NO!! I can use them for the back of little quilts!! I trimmed off the seams and now have two new backings ready!

I know I have 4 king size flannel ones at home too that came with my “winter” sheet sets that I bought when we moved full time to Big Canoe so I’m going to dig those out when I get home and use them for backings too! They’ve never been used and will make cozy backings for these little quilts.

We had a nice visit today with my brother and his wife and tomorrow I’ll be going back over to visit Mom. I did get another little quilt pin basted tonight and I’m going to borrow some binding supplies (needles and clips) from Mom so I can hand stitch the first two bindings down.

These little quilts are such a fun project!! Mom gives me most of the little ones she makes to donate but she keeps a few here for local donations around Christmas time. I used that as an excuse to shop for some critters for her at Dollar General! I told her to take her pick and she chose the kitty, the leopard, and the bear so the tiger and puppy will come home with me!
