I have quilt blocks that are embroidered by my MIL with yellow roses and some blue flowers on them. I really would like to get this top pieced together and quilted. Here is my problem---they were a pre printed kit and the fabric that was used is so thin. Should I just go ahead and quilt them or should I place a piece of white cotton on the back of them then the batting and the backing before quilting? The background of the embroidered blocks are white. Would be interested in any help you can give me. Thanks

I recently backed some old fragile quilt blocks with Pellon fusable interfacing and it made the fragile pieces strong as the rest of the pieces. The interfacing I used was labeled for light to medium weight fabrics. I had never used it before but I will use it again. It made all the difference.

i find that when i have thin white fabric, i end up using white batting..warm and white. (i usually use warm and natural) of course most battings are white.
can't wait to see what you are going to do with them! can you show a picture of the blocks?!
