I do love the "old quilt" look, but I'm just surprised at quite how much it shrunk. It's just so tiny! If I had known, I would have added borders before the binding. Next time I'll plan better. This has been a learning experience.
Thank you for the compliments!

This would make a beautiful quilt for a premie. Our local NICU unit likes quilts 28" - 30" square for the incubators.
The shrinkage of this batting does sound excessive but there is a need for small quilts.

The time I spent making her quilt now helps me remember to pray for her daily.
I did the baby quilt in a similar way, with 5 scriptures pertaining to children in 5 of the snowballs. The rest of the snowballs got a flower. It was fun.
