I LOVE IT!!! aren't string quilt fun? i quilt for a lady who makes them all the time...she always sends a good backing and thick batting, her queen/king size quilts weigh about 10 pounds when they are done! (maybe not really but they are really heavy! and i'm sure amazingly warm!) i heard someone say one time, i don't like quilts, they do not keep you warm...i thought...wow, really? mine do ;)
