For those of you who have made quilts or other projects with this Cotton Theory technique, could you post pictures (front & back) of the items you have made?

I've made a jacket using her methods and am half way through another one. I like the fact that the jacket is unique and reversible. Will make one of her bags before I do a quilt.

Ive heard it makes a stiff quilt.
I watched her videos on Sewing with Nancy but looked like alot of work to me. The only quilt as you go that I have done is the Fun and Done and it is not to hard but your backing becomes your sashing and it can get wonky. |

Yes, I have done table runners, and a jacket using this technique. I really like it. The only downside is all the cutting before you assemble. Turns out great!

There are two things I am looking forward to getting and Cotton Theory 2 is one of them. Dang - living on a fixed income is the pits. :(

This method uses a ton of fabric and a ton of thread and you end up with a "board"!

I have some of her earlier patterns and a video I'd like to sell at a very reasonal price, if anyone is interested.

As others have said, the finished project is quite stiff and heavy. I like them for table runners and rugs, but they are too heavy for me to use as quilts. My daughter, on the other hands, loves the weight so she really likes them. Too each his own. I think the best things to do is to try a small project and see how you like it. It never hurts to try a new technique! Can't wait to see your pictures. Have fun.
