but I spent too much in fabric to toss it aside. I bought these 6 1/2 inch chenille blocks at the Paducah show. I cut up 6 1/2 inch 1930's fabric. Never had I seen such an assortment and thought it would be a good toddler quilt with all of the textures. Well...they are not square and you cannot use a 1/4 inch seam as it ravels too much. The chenille kept getting caught on the feed dogs or the walking foot. So I sewed them together as best I could. I am going to tie this with yarn so I can cover up the squares that don't line up.
Do I need a batting in this? If so, I want a very thin batting. Any suggestions? Also, what binding should I do with this. I was thinking about just sewing a backing right sides together and turning it and just stitch around the edges to keep it in place.
