Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this. I do have some QD select already and may pick up some of the hobbs 80/20, just to see how it is.

I probably should add, too, that all of the fabrics are LQS quality, purchased from KQ. The Aunt Grace is a Marcus brothers one and there's a similar one from Maywood. Both are very light, which wouldn't be a huge issue if the main fabric weren't the seersucker. I remember at the time, wondering if that was really quilt fabric, but it was part of a display of very thin and fine stripes and plaids, so I figured it had to be. (Now, I would be more suspicious, with a bit more experience.). There's nothing on the selvedges to indicate what it is. All of the fabrics I bought from that group ( 3 plaids and the seersucker) are the same on both sides and appear to be woven instead of printed. I wish I knew more about them. Perhaps they are lawn?

This is one that will definitely need Harriet's machine-washing method and fan-drying.

hugs,
Charlotte
