I did not wash the pieces at all. I figured I would dry clean it anyway. I hope this was not a mistake not to wash . . .
I'll check out the Hobbs - I know lots of quilters here mention it.
I had figured quilting where the squares join but if I need more than that (every 4 inches) I could do it also where the different fabrics join.
I like the idea of putting the ties to the back!
About in the ditch - never done that either.
I kind of hate to introduce quilting with all the embroidery stitches and colors . . .
I had considered doing more embroidery going all the way through the layers.
?
Thanks so much for your comments!
