I just took a class in Paducah from an Australian quilter. Granted, she was talking about EPP but don't know why her thoughts on this wouldn't cross over to pieced coverlets. She said that most Australian people who EPP, make coverlets using no batting and that the two layers after a little use just stick together and don't shift so that no quilting is needed. Boy that was music to my ears to know that after hand sewing (250) 6-pointed stars, I won't be quilting it too!! I've wanted to make a summer coverlet using one of Eleanor Burns' patterns for several years. Sounds practical for sitting out on the porch in summer evenings.
