I know I have a book that led me to this, but I can't lay my hands on it at this point. It's basically a log cabin design, worked in individual squares. You construct the log cabin from both sides at the same time while sandwiching small pieces of batting between. I did find a blog called Celtic Knots that shows an excellent tutorial, that will probably make this a lot more easy to understand - http://cathicrafts.wordpress.com/200...uilt-tutorial/
I used warm and natural cotton needled batting in between my stitiching and it worked up wonderfully. I didn't have to worry about catching my batting in the seams since there was no room to shift. I also chose to use the same fabric all-over on the back so I wouldn't drive myself crazy trying to follow a pattern on both sides. The log cabin pattern on the back makes enough texture to be interesting.
Hope this answers for bittersweet as well...
Thanks for your reply. I am fascinated with the fabric stuffing appriach. I could not find from the link how to sew the blocks together. Do I understand correctly that the batting is not in the seams? If you come across the book that led you down this path, please send me the title.
