Eyelet Fabric
Howdy y'all 😊
There is a lady in our quilting group who has to go twice a week for dialysis. She has always been really cold-natured, and has mentioned to us that she nearly freezes to death while hooked up for her treatments. So I was thinking about making her a throw to use especially for when she has to go in. She LOVES pink, and I have some beautiful pink, white, and off white eyelet fabrics that I've had for a couple of years now. I have 4 yards of each color in 60" wide fabrics. Don't hate...I got it on clearance for $2.00 a yard!!
Has anyone ever made a quilt top using eyelet fabric? Would the batting come out through the little eyelet holes, or would it work fine? My idea is to make a pink and white Pinwheel quilt, use a double layer of high loft batting, and tie it so it will be poofy and snuggly for her. I'm also toying with the idea of having no binding, but to sew the layers so it can be sewed all the way around, leaving an opening to turn it right side out. The kicker is that I would like to also sew some eyelet fabric lace on the edges so that when I turn it right side out, the lace will be rufflie around the outside. Then I would do the tying after it's turned. Does this sound doable, or am I biting off more than I can chew? I'd sure appreciate any help! 😃
