This is a great idea! I was kind of considering doing this but was a little worried it might not be representative of real-world wear and tear. But you Really seem to know your stuff, so since you recommend it I'm definitely going to try it!
Thank you for the compliment! Masculine/modern is exactly what I was going for. I added a couple more pictures. If you look closely you can see where some stretching while quilting has warped
otherwise straight lines. An unfortunate but difficult toprevent side effect of working with apparel fabrics! That is why I chose apattern with intentionally wonky blocks.. it hides my flaws pretty well!
I also want to thank you So Much for all the time you havetaken (and everyone else too!) to help me out! I am feeling much morecomfortable with this quilt now! Also, as you point out, if any threads were tobreak, I will not have a hard time fixing since it won’t fray (unlike my otherpoor quilt that was ruined)!
