I vote for the double cut. I used 138 scraps of different batiks. Batting used was poly with a high lift as I wanted it to be more like a comforter. I then tied it by machine using the ilet stitch. Love Love it. and it is warm. Ended up being a good size for King bed I have. I will make one again when I get more along with my bucket list. It goes together easy and fairly quick. I did not put a border on, just bound it with backing I used.
