Years ago my granny made her version of puff quilt, she put 5" squares RST , sewed 3 sides, stuffed and tucked the open end then hand stitched each block to the next. It was a full size scrappy that was happily used by the great grand kids. At the time (not knowing there was another way), I made one of my own (queen) by the time it was done it was supper heavy! If I ever do another I'll make sure 1) I go easier on the stuffing, and 2) only make a lap size!

Sometimes DONE is the best thing to hope for, right? I finished the puffs and put fleece on the back. Let's just say that putting the borders on was quite a challenge. I now understand why most puff quilts have ruffles. Mine does too but not on purpose. lol. Three sides went on OK - albeit a little wonky, but the last one had serious overage. So I decided to just pleat the fabric and sew down the pleats. The little one won't care, and frankly - after all the bloody pin pricks in my fingers, neither do I.

I overstuffed mine and it was a headache stitching the puffs together.

Going to make one, I thought it would make a nice floor mat for playpen for expected granddaughter, plus if it's mat to doesn't need to be quite so perfect lol.
