If the eyelet holes are small and the batting is bonded, it will work. I have incorporated eyelet fabric in several baby quilts that were successful and didn't poke out. Another idea would to use Polar fleece instead of a batting. That certainly wouldn't poke out and likely would be even warmer than most battings. I love your idea of adding a ruffle around the edges and then "birthing" the quilt. It will be a lovely, very appreciated gift! Please publish a picture when it is finished.

i'll jump in... it needs to be lined if using traditional batting. but if you use the fleece at batting, that should work... but i think it'd be more difficult to put the needle through to tie.

I used eyelet on the back of my chicken scratch quilt. I did put green behind it. it came out great, with the eyelet..
Got a lot of compliments on it and was told to tell my mom she did a good job. Why do people think young people can't do that. (It was for my son who is now 25).

First...thank you for making this for your friend. My dad is also on dialysis. He says he is cold all the time too. He has 2 fleece blankets that he takes with him for treatment.
Second...I would put a light weight fabric under the eyelet fabric. The makes a beautiful quilt. I would use it for her. She will love what ever you make for her.
