I actually made this one for my oldest son (he's been gone 10 years) but saw the way his dogs had ruined a couple of other ones so decided to wait until he moved into a better situation. That never really happened so I never gave it to him. I did make him a gorgeous green & gold one w/lions (for Richard the lion hearted, I told him) shortly before he died but it disappeared. So, I wasn't totally neglecting him. I can't believe it's been 10 years....seems like a couple of days ago! They say you never get over losing a child and it's sad but true. Rich was 39 so not really a child. His youngest brother now uses it for a bedspread.
Anyway, here's a tip...if you make a large quilt with heavy corduroy, it doesn't need a thick batting. I only found that out when my washing machine told me.
