Thank you for the compliments.
Oksewglad: My church group uses batting and ties them. They bring the back around to the front and our lovely leader (87 years old) uses the industrial machine to sew it down. They also try to put unwanted fabric in the middle with the batting like a slippery fabric or some other light weight fabric. I order the batting through jet.com and we either get grants to pay for the batting or church pays. Trying to get to 7000.
Elly66: The 3’s just worked out as I cut the 10” squares.
When I showed the quilt top at sewing group tonight, one of the employees said I should keep it for my first grandchild (due in Feb) and give it to him when he is older with a note that most of the fabrics are from his great grandmother. Sounds like a good idea but I would do a different pattern.
