Tell your son wanting and getting are two different things.
:wink:
Seriously, while the suggestion of having it as a secondary backing put on after quilting would indeed work, I'm not quite sure how it would hold up. I guess it would be ok. kind of like a duvet cover on a comfortor but only on the back.
I like the 'wanting and getting' are two different things.
You didn't say how old your son is. I'm just thinking guys are tough on things. If he is going off to college it is going to get some wear. If it is a decoration quilt the secondary backing idea sounds great but if it is a quilt for use and washing it seems like the d/c fabric will be free to rub as it washes and it will get the little nubbies on the fabric.
Can't wait to see how you decide. I love challenges. Especially when they belong to someone besides me. :lol: :lol: :lol:
