It is Warm & Natural batting, bought by the yard at JoAnn's. She works there. The designs remind me of handkerchiefs, doilies, and those embroidered dresser scarves from back in the 50s-60s. The backing is a solid pink fabric. So, of course, whatever I do, will show up in the back. I am just trying to make it as simple as I can as I am not perfect at fmq. Did several things, but nothing like what a longarm would do. I know she would be happy with anything I do for her. Just cannot seem to make up my mind on what to do.
