I made my son a quilt from Precious Moments cross stitched baby train blocks. I used a pre-quilted backing fabric that had batting already attached.
He is now 18 and it has held together beautifully. We don't use it anymore as he "outgrew" it long ago but someday, maybe his kids will enjoy looking at their daddy's first quilt. :thumbup:

I would say a wallhanging is best - not sure how the ada cloth would hold up - I know I have some t-towels that were embroidered long ago and even bleached and the emboridery work is still in tack.
