A west coast blogger has a tutorial on this. Its very interesting. Her example shows a small 36 inch size quilt. Has any of you tried this, if so what type of batting did you use. The blogger used Pellon but I usually go w/ Hobbs.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
A west coast blogger has a tutorial on this. Its very interesting. Her example shows a small 36 inch size quilt. Has any of you tried this, if so what type of batting did you use. The blogger used Pellon but I usually go w/ Hobbs.
You can probably use whatever you like, depending on the loft you want, and how dense the quilting. If QingAYG with a domestic machine and no backing, I have found some battings may 'grab' the bed of the machine, and for these I like to use a light iron-on interfacing, to help movement.
I don't know which one you are talking about but there are many that you can sew right on the batting. Do you have a link?

Can you post the link to this blogger?? You would certainly have to use use something that wouldn't get caught up in the feed dogs.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
I could see this working very nicely if you were going to use only fleece as dual purpose backing/batting. Then all you would need to do would be add sashing on front & back for joining the squares.
Have had this in mind to try ever since I first heard about quilt as you go.
I'm puzzled.....why would anyone want to quilt without backing?
I think so you can add backing as one large piece (as in normal quilting) after the blocks are joined.

Never regret growing older, its a privilege denied to many.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
