I took a Cotton Theory workshop when it was first popular. The blocks were bulky. I managed to get them sewn together but the quilt was stiff. I made a smaller quilt using Thermore batting (thinnest batting I could find) and I liked it much better. I haven't made another one and probably won't.

I have done a small table runner and a twin quilt with that theory. I had fun doing it, but it took longer than expected. Maybe all things take longer than expected. LOL The thing with Cotton Theory is it takes a lot of fabric. A strip that finished at 1 X 3 in the quilt needs a piece 3 X 5 to start with. The front and the back, too. All the seams are one inch. The batt pieces are cut to finished size. Let me know what you need, and I'll see if I can help.
