Am I making a big mistake on this baby quilt?
I am making an applique baby quilt. As I am hoping it will be used rather than hung, I decided not to use Heat n Bond on the applique fabric pieces. (I was hoping this will make it softer). The applique is done in the hoop using my embroidery function on my DSM. I plan to use batting and either cotton or flannel backing for the quilt. I am still in the middle of making the applique blocks, but having second thoughts. Is there any danger to not backing the applique fabric? I am using a tear away stabilizer under the main fabric. Designs are about 5" x 6", and medium density of stitching. I plan on minimal quilting around the applique portion of the blocks.
I have made 3 of the 15 applique blocks, so if this is a big mistake, I am willing to start over. Thanks for sharing any thoughts, experiences.
