I thank everyone for your suggestions... and I did think about what was said. The 2 quilt idea seemed to be a good option... but I really don't want to make 2 quilts
Thank you Sephie for your comments about Warm and Plush - - so at least I know that I am not alone ha ha ha
So I did it. I doubled the warm and natural
I was just going to do one layer. I had the top glue basted to the batting and my sister very emphatically tells me that dad gets cold. So i was afraid one layer would not do it
I glue basted another layer of warm and natural and then the backing.
wrestling with that was a little bit of a struggle. But I just did a meander FMQ. I threw it in my home washing machine and dryer..... everything seemed to work well
now all that is left is to see how dad handles the quilt.
hope its not too much for him to manage
I do appreciate all of your thoughts. I am working on a tshirt quilt now and now I feel much better about using one layer of the warm and natural batting for that quilt.
I will post a picture of my finished quilt
Thanks again everyone
