Now I am concerned that they will shrink at different rates. I would just have to commit hari-kari if that happens as I really put a lot of work into it. What do the seamstress' here think?
Sounds like it will be pretty. If it's quilted, most people expect a little "texture" - so you probably don't need to worry.
