I am finally writing again. Been down sick with a bad cold but reading alot. The pictures I have sent before but will again. The fabric I will cut up the squares to use and the green will be utilized to go inbetween, probably will add some of the striped also. Problem? Can I use the polyplush throw as a backing? My daughter in law wants that for her couch to cuddle with but a quilt top and would also have 100 percent cotton batting in between with the cotton fabric on top. Should I wash it all before because of the Poly backing? I have never done one with a different fabric for a backing. Attached are the pics again of the front and the back would be cranberry poly that looks fine. Confused yet? BTW HAVE BEEN LOVING READING everything and seen all the fantastic work you all have been doing. WOW is my usual statement!

Sorry I can not help with your ?. But I do love your fabric.

What is a polyplush throw? Is it stretchy?

The most liked quilt I ever made has a cotton top, warm and natural batting, and brushed arnel for the backing. I used t-shirt knit for the binding.

Brushed arnel is a knit that feels like cotton velveteen or velvet. It's as stable as most wovens as far as the stretch factor is concerned. Bathrobes were made from it.

The only caution about using that is - Don't press it with a hot iron - it will melt.

The poly fabric is that plushy stuff that they make couch throws with.. Got it at JC Pennys.. not very stretchy but will have to be careful....

Maybe tie it when it's done? That way you won't have to fight with the back rumpling/wrinkling.

thank you !!

Your fabrics are very RICH looking. I haven't used anything other than cotton for the backing, but your couch throw will be beautiful when done.

Good idea! I have never quilted one yet...but used to tie but it has been years since I have made any quilts at all.
They were mostly log cabins

I'm a compulsive prewasher -

Have you washed everything? or do you just hope for the best when you make things?

What is the length of the pile/plush?

Thank you . I fell in love with the flowered blocks..will prob pull out the pink flower parts and save for something else. I am glad you have faith on... when done :) .. I know once I get started it will move along..just so long so in doubt here..
