Has anyone ever tried that ? (I am going to hand quilt)
Hope you dont think I am strange. LOL...
Great example of the variety of members on this board. I'm always looking for the very lightest quilt. I made my Mom a quilt using Warm and Natural batting and it's so heavy, she is now unable to use it as her bed cover because she has arthritis and can't lift the quilt at night to fold it back on her bed. I'm curious about the opposite: what batting makes the lightest quilt?
