I'm with you on this one. I learned to quilt to duplicate the wonderful experience of sleeping under quilts at my Gramma's house as a child. I especially do not enjoy the heavy weight of some of the fabrics used as backing now, just not the same to me. I buckled under some quilt shop peer pressure and bought some very heavy watercolor fabric to back a buck a block quilt. Hate it-I have so much money invested and can't bring myself to finish the FMQ. I do like the large bold fabrics for curtains and purses though.
