I'v...I rather liked that part of the quote too.<br />I've thought about a queen size sheet but - and here's the thing - I want it to serve more as a bedspread than a quilt (if that makes any sense whatsoever!). Our bed, if I end up using it there, is up on blocks so we can store books under there (don't ask!!) and I need something that comes to the floor to cover the 'collection' beneath it. So, in that context, a queen (or even a king) sized sheet is too small. Trust me to make it difficult!!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.com
