I have to remember some people can be OCD about details, and I certainly do not want to come across that way to a DDIL or DGD either one. Since they are willing to try the quilt making at all, I probably should be happy and let the rest go by the by. But inside, I get this "gut" wrenching feeling every time I think about what will happen. Cloth is so expensive and time spent is VIP too. Then I have other thoughts: What if they blame me for what happens down the road. They might say, "You should have told me!"
I may just casually ask about the manufacturer's directions on the batting. That seems like the best way to deal with the issue. I have already given my accolades on the piecing, design, color and the final appearances. They really did do a great job and I have told them that over and over.
