All I lack is adding my strips as the border and I am ready to sandwich my quilt! It is not perfect in any shape or form. I've learned more about what not to do than what to do. Thank the Good Lord my daughter loves the imperfect me and will treasure this imperfect quilt.
The quilt top is a bit heavier than normal because the Marimekko fabrics I chose were of a heavier weight. I hope once I wash the quilt it will be a little softer. Right now there is a lot of starch.
My daughter would have preferred Minky on the back, but I didn't want to piece the backing, so I purchased some wide flannel from
www.sewbatik.com. It is lovely and will be soft.
What batting should I use? The quilt turned out to be 98x98, so it will be heavy simply because of the size and the flannel, so I want the lightest weight possible. And because we are in Texas, it needs to be as cool as possible.
Suggestions, please? Quilter's Dream wool is what I lean to based on what I have read so far.
Thanks in advance?
Janan
