I rather got use to it unfinished, have been using it this way (basted) and I'm just not sure what to do. Kind of made a bad choice of batting (too puffy, thought I could hand sew through it, but I think I'd rather have done the batting in flannel. So I'm thinking I'll tie off this one, and start another , batted with flannel, so I can hand quilt a lot easier. What would you do? Thanks ahead of time !
