My seams were every size you can imagine due to not cutting an exact 5 inch sq. Batting what's batting. I pieced strips of linen and cotton together for a bk and sewed it together, leaving a opening to turn inside out and I had a quilt.,,,
I recently pulled the bking off of it to do it right. I guess some might say threw it out but it was my first no matter how the top was put together and now I can make adjustments and remind myself how far I've come.
I chuckle at this because when doing my first quilt, I cut all the squares using scissors. Now I that I have the rotary cutter, I can't imagine going back.
