I have one made of Pine. The more you use it the easier it is to use. I use thumb tacks to put the back on. I stretch as much as I can safely stretch. Then I lay the batting on. I use from a company that makes snowmobile suits. It has never bunched up or worn out. then I lay the pieced top and stretch:that. After I tie and take the thumb tacks out it "poof's up" I like a soft poofy warm quilt. 20 below this AM
