Its darling... but i have a suggestion... why not have your GD come and help stuff the puffs.... it would give you two quality time and she will have the memories of helping grandma make the treasured quilt..

I made a 'puff' or 'biscuit' quilt last year. They are not difficult. They are not actually quilted, so when the back is on, you just tie them at the intersections with the ties on the front or back, which ever is pleasing to you. I backed mine with flannel per DH's request. He will never sleep too cold again! Lol!

I know my DIL has ordered from them and has been very happy. BUT i would do a search and check some other sites for better prices,
Do a search with Puff quilt bedroom set and search by pictures. that way you can see all kinds including that one and than click on the picture to go to the site. I do that all the time

Figis is an established reputable company from right here in WI. Employees are very friendly and helpful when contacting them. We have ordered many times over the years, as have our friends. For many years my mother would buy a box of cheeses and sausages during the holidays. Some may find items cheaper elsewhere, but I will take their care, handling and the servicing of the products anyday.

Here is my 2 cents. There's nothing wrong with a ready made quilt. I have not heard of this company. Not everyone has the time, talent or money for a hand made quilt. Personally, I ordered a quilt made by Sunday River Quilts probably 10 years ago. It featured a center Texas star motif, surrounding trapunto and a scalloped boarder. I admired all three techniques and knew I would never attempt any of them. It's held up well and still one of my favorite quilts.

I was thinking the same thing about the cost. I made one a couple of years ago and I had almost $75 in just the outside fabric of the puffs. That doesn't include the muslin, backing, thread and stuffing that I used and all the time involved in making it. A twin size from this site is $119 and it is in the color she wants. Hold your head high and order it!!!!
