kusmaulk Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just finished this one for my sister's FIL, who has to have dialysis, and comes out freezing each time. I went to some thrift stores and bought flannel shirts and some corduroy pants, and cut them into rectangles. It's so nice and soft, and has lots of pockets!!

kusmaulk Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's a cotton batt and cotton (red) backing. Nice and soft and broken in already. He was a farmer, and wore lots of flannel shirts himself, so I think he will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that his family uses those pockets to put in pictures, sweet/humorous notes, or whatever will lift his spirits during his treatment.
