What a lovely quilt. Thanks for the tip re: the lofty batting. I've wanted to use something loftier a few times but haven't. You did a wonderful job with this quilt.

it is beautiful and interesting. Like most things, if it isn't broke don't fix it. Go back to using the batting you normally use. and get a slider. it helps with the FMQ.

Yours turned out much prettier than the one I saw on the Bernina site. Your fabrics are bright and cheery and although you say you had a difficult time quilting, it turned out lovely. Great job!

I like this quilt. Polyester batting is slippery making it harder to control. Cotton grabs the fabric so it stays in place better. However the poly is lighter and makes it easier that way. My preference is cotton or cotton/poly combo.

Your persistence paid off.............it is lovely. Like others have said, I like 80/20 or all cotton too. Thanks for posting. I like your color choices better than the sample!
