Yes, your calico is our muslin. In the US calico usually means a small, primarily floral, printed cotton.[/QUOTE]

Thank you for that info, the different terminology gets confusing at times

DebbieC - My QB friends have done a LOT more than pray for us -- although every prayer is treasured and needed! I received an incredible outpouring of generosity from so many. And there were many more who made quilts that went to Sandy survivors. I received two personalized quilts from my QB friends and I will treasure them to the end of my days.

GrannieAnnie - Yes, He did!

Bsktkeeper - I am counting my blessings for the bargain we found -- especially after looking at the cost of muslin!

I use it all the time to quilt the top then back with minkee. Sewing the right sides of the minkee and quilt top together leaving opening to turn inside out. Hand stitch close the opening, do a few stitch in the ditches are blocks, so the minkee doesn't shift. Great for lap quilts and no binding or corners.
