When I make Christmas stockings, I will use batting to give them a puffy look, then I will add the lining afterwards to hide the backside.
Does this make sense?

Thank you so much for responding, BJ. I love your work!

Yes I went to your site they are all amazing to me. I am fascinated by crazy quilts .. I have one block started just the material sewed to the muslin (sp) I am using blue jean centers and other materials around it... not near as fancy as yours. But my twist to them. I have not gotten to the fancy stitches around the seams by any means. But you do inspire me.

I love your crazy quilting very Victorian looking and feminine reminds me of ladies walking down the streets in long dresses carrying parasols.
