Does anybody out there quilt? I'm not making a quilt, per se, but I am sewing some plaid flannel onto the back of a lightweight wool to make a blanket. I thought I might do some "quilting" on it - that is, sew designs through the whole thing to help it stick to itself. I don't know if this is clever or a terrible, terrible idea. I also don't know how to choose or make a design.

Edited: Simple embroidery. That's the solution. I'm doing swirls.

Thanks for the help. Usually, though, instead of buying lots of packaged stuff, I try to cook from scratch in quantity, and then refrigerate and freeze portions for later meals. So I can pull out and defrost a slice of meatloaf from the freezer, and warm up some carrot soup, and slice a cucumber, and voila, lunch. But sometimes that fridge is bare bare bare and I wish I had anything, even a vacuum packed soup.

To the grocery I go.

P.S. I bought the Kitchenaid for myself. Fuck some men.

I am all about the homemade and in the freezer dinners - I'm just saying I also like the back up of the store bought, every once in awhile. The other night I was so tired-and-hungry I ate a can of tuna fish. Plain. I forced myself to actually put it in a can and add salt and pepper, just to make it a little less pathetic.
