Probably a dozen!
A few years ago, I bought one of those rolls of batting, so when I cut for these two, I discovered I can only make two more quilts. That can’t happen so I just ordered another roll. I told my sister I was going to have to move down the basement and sew nonstop to use up fabric and batting.
Again, several years ago, I was able to order flannel from Joann’s and have it delivered to Canada. They stopped shipping here for a while but are back. So last week, I ordered three pieces. I checked yesterday to look for more and I didn’t know but I lucked out last week when it was on sale. Back to regular pricing now, but still less than what I would pay here. Will have to watch for sale time again.

Lois, You and your hubby are young'uns. My Geezer will be 89 in July......I'll be 84 in Sept. We just had our 65th wedding anniversary in March. When I had covid so bad, we would fist bump instead of kiss before he went to bed. We're up to shaking hands now with a few hugs throughout the day. lol I think Theresa has us beat though.
I hope the freezer has all been cleaned out. Were there any bad odors to deal with? .
And are you back at the machine yet? piecing or quilting?
Yard work all taken care of?
I keep looking out and seeing all sorts of cleanup for me to do, and the weather is beautiful. However, until this foot heals, all I can do is look. Or clean up the sewing tables!

Theresa, my husband and I moved the freezer out of the garage, and then he power-washed it. It came out amazingly clean and odor free. He pushed it back into its place, and now he’s busy filling it up again. 🤪
I did get the gardens all cleaned, fertilized and mulched before a day-long, much needed rain yesterday.
I have been working on assembling my star blocks in the evenings, but I haven’t gotten back to the longarm yet. That’s a daytime task, and my days have been too busy. I am heading up to my discount fabric store today. I need some backing yardage and some Sunbrella fabric to cover our screen porch chair cushions.
I hope your foot heals quickly. It’s so frustrating when the mind is willing, but the body won’t cooperate.
My sister and I did a workshop for curved piecing and I have the templates. Looks tempting Sharon!

Wooo Hooooo, hope your house sells quickly and nothing unpredictable happens along the way in getting to your new home. So exciting!
How exciting for you! Welcome to the "every day is a Saturday" club and enjoy your new home!

The roll I just ordered is the 80/20 blend. I think that is all I have ever used.
Another thing about wanting a 'warm' quilt is not to have the quilting on it too dense so make sure the batting you buy states how far apart is allowable. May we see some of the quilts you've made? I'm so visual, I have to watch tutorials on how to use special rulers. sigh. Welcome to our forum.
