The two darker blues and the hot pink are the same fabric line and even though they have been washed several times, they just don't cuddle like I want.
Yes it is very heavily quilted - too much for me even. It was my first real quilt on my long arm, and I got a bit carried away
If I were to do it again, I would do half (or even fewer) as many "rays" and make them wider. After washing it's better, but not as cuddly as I wanted.
I like the panto you picked, and I think it will be lovely. But depending on the scale, it looks like it may be pretty dense too from the picture you posted.
