I like the way it turned out, but there was a bit of bleed through with the red and the brown. I don't think it's enough to make me not want to quilt it, I just think I might use a darker backing fabic or something with more of a pattern, so if it does bleed, it won't matter as much. I like the feel of it. It's softer than I expected. It didn't shrink as much as I thought either, about a half inch both ways, but I think it fluffed up more than it shrank. It was pressed pretty well as I stitched each row, so It's more like it just fluffed up the fibers after they'd been flattened for so many years on their rolls. I'm gonna love this quilt. Do you ever feel like they're your babies? I don't think I could ever give this one away. Maybe I should only make things I DON'T like.
