I LOOOOOOOVE it and used it for a baby quilt about a year ago and it is babies fave. I hand quilted it without a problem. I am now using it for a quilt back for DS and DD. I used a very thin batting and the quilt is so soft very warm and cuddly. It is just a YUMMY quilt the best way I can describe it is comfort food for your body. There is no shrinkage as it is poly or some fake fiber.
