The fleece-backed nap quilts are a success. I found some 1-yard remnants at the fabric store, and minimally quilted them wrong sides together.

The backing was about 2 inches larger than the quilt top on all sides, and I turned the excess fabric to the front of the quilt and zig zagged it down. Easy as pie.
...And really cuddly too. If I wanted to be fancy, I would've mitred the corners, but I'm not often fancy.

This week I also crocheted some scrappy preschooler mittens from Yarnville's free pattern Mrs. Murdock's Mittens. It's an interesting patten with a few new tricks, but once I did one, it was easy going from there. The pattern comes in three sizes: preschool, older kids, and women's and the mittens come out very thick.
I put up a website for my book: have a look and send me some feedback if you have any suggestions.

the fleece is a great backing especially for baby quilts, must look into trying some myself. Best of luck with your book, think it is on UK amazon as well if so I will get a copy. Mittens will come in handy in the winter, we are having lovely weather at the moment.
My head has been too difficult to spend much time on a computer lately. I do like the cover of your book however. Will have to look over the website more carefully another time.
those mittens are adorable!
