Hi, Have you ever heard of the batting bearding through the seams that are pressed open?

I had that happen once years ago. I blamed it on the batting at the time, because it was a yard sale find and I was never sure of its origins. I took a Bic lighter and melted them all off.

The quilt was a Hurricane quilt (hurricane Hugo) for SIL - sailboats all named by family members. The center block was a sailboat going down, named Hugo. Wish I had a picture of it - it was cute.

I wonder how many Katrina quilts have been made. Anyone here do one?

I was living in Omaha then. I can't remember what the quilt guild up there did, but I know it was something. One of the groups I belonged to donated 25 doubles and 50 junior size for the refugees that came to Omaha.
