jojosnana .... YES, I did make the pillowcases/shams. Maybe most shams are fancier than this, but I used an old one I had for the pattern. Just a larger pillow and simple, straight steams (no piecing together of fabrics). Found both pillowcase fabrics at JoAnn's.
tebill ... When I made my grandbaby's quilt (Eva Elizabeth), I used flannel for the back (and I DID pre-wash the flannel only); 100% cotton for the front and used a lightweight cotton batting for the middle (from JoAnn's).
Now I am going to make another baby quilt
, using flannel for the front and back; but in the middle, something called Ornsberg (I'm sure I got this spelling wrong, the LQS recommended this as the middle, because it rags up so nicely).
So, in this case, I would have 3 edges ragging up on the front (all 3 layers will be the same size). This one will also be various sized strips, instead of the squares. I have the top all cut, but the weather's been so nice, I just have to be outside as much as I can ~ HATE the winters
And I didn't pre-wash this, as it's all flannel, except for the middle.
Enjoy!!!
