Mixing washed and unwashed cottons?
I'm a dedicated pre-washer so ALL of my stash is washed when it enters the house. The only exception is pre-cuts, and I *normally* don't buy them for this reason.
This weekend I got 50% off a batik jelly roll at my LQS. Couldn't pass it up especially since husband has been bugging me to make him a "quick" quilt.
So I made the jelly roll quilt.
He wants it longer.
I have plenty of batiks in my stash that match that jelly roll, but of course they are all pre-washed. I would be adding six 2.5" strips to one end of the quilt top.
I'll be using W&N 100% cotton batting (unwashed) if that makes any difference. The quilting will probably just be an all over meander.
Should I do it? Is it a disaster waiting to happen? Remember, this is a home quilt for my husband to snuggle under in the chilly winter. It's not going anywhere!
