I can't imagine that it could be quilted....but there are some pretty creative folks on this board. I guess the edges could all be left as is, creating a scallop?????? Any suggestions or your experiences would be appreciated.
Ye, I have put a backing on a yo yo quilt. This was a vintage quilt handed down to me from my grandmother and mother, I did tack some of the yo yo's down thru the hole to the backing. This helps stabilize it. I was afraid of mine falling apart as the fabrics are very old and I wanted to display it.
