No, my friend's quilt was batted with a poly batting. It's fatter and was much harder to FMQ. She has washed it a bunch of times.

I do love the "old quilt" look, but I'm just surprised at quite how much it shrunk. It's just so tiny! If I had known, I would have added borders before the binding. Next time I'll plan better. This has been a learning experience.

Thank you for the compliments!
