Puff quilt question
 

When making a puff quilt do you use batting under the puffs or is the polyester fiber fill enough to keep it some what warm?

I used fiber fill but often found one didn't have enough or had too much. In retrospect I think a high loft batting would have been a better choice to keep the blocks more uniform.

The only batting I used was in the puffs. It was pretty warm, but kind of unwieldy because it was so thick. Didn't use it long, gave it away..

Maybe this will help... Jenny from Missouri Star uses a pillow!

I recently made a queen size puff quilt. It seemed like it was never going to get done. I did not use a batting, in fact, I made mine as a rag puff quilt, meaning the seams were on the top side and clipped. Not too interested in doing another one though.

Whatever you do, don't overfill the puffs! Underfill is fine; overfill is not. I made that mistake with my first-and-last puff quilt. Overfilling makes it very difficult to sew the puffs together. When finally finished, the whole thing was so stiff its only possible use was as a pet bed.

The nicest puff quilt I ever saw was made from silk by hand (by a boy who needed a long bed rest while recovering from TB, I think).
