what do you guys think?
I saw this tutorial some time ago and I really want to try it because its so different
http://www.2littlehooligans.com/2011...ovey-tutorial/
My question is about batting. This tutorial doesn't use batting, but if I wanted to use batting do you think I could? They just show quilting along the lengths of the strips - I get that so the ruffles are not lost
Do you guys think that would be enough quilting for batting? I have Hobbs 80/20 and Warm and White but the quilting instructions on these make me feel like it would not be enough quilting
I would make mine bigger than hers. More like 40" x 45ish

you some tips on how to proceed.

I have seen one similar that had a very lightweight batting in it...come to think of it, it may have been flannel. It was still lightweight but heavier than just the cottons. That is a cute pattern. I read the page and found that they were using Minky as the backing. You really wouldn't need any more batting in it if you use Minky. The one I saw was all cotton fabrics.

Another thought for your quilt with ruffles.
Sew long tubes and press seam open. Turn right side out and ruffle on center. Attach to the completed quilt top. You wouldn't have any raw edges.
The pics on the second link look like the ruffle edges were finished using a serger. Perhaps they were even made with a serger.
