Prism99 - what is the name of the thread your using with this? Needle size? Thanks for the tip aobut the Mountain Mist. The coverlet I saw was straightline stitched and was about the width of two-finger lengths. So that sounds about like the requirements of the batting you suggested. It was in long columns down the lengthe of the quilts (about 15 of them I think) and then each column was stitched horizontally in the two-finger lengths rectangles. It was all white and very beautiful. But the softness of it all was what intrigued me. My quilts thus far have the thinness that I like, but they are rather stiff and heavy feeling.
I want them to be thin, soft, and light. My Queen that I just finished is so heavy that I can hardly fold it nor carry it. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I wash it to get out all my marks. I'm 5'2" and 66 yrs old...I may have to get my husband to help me put that wet thing in the dryer. LOL
