your quilt looks fantastic!!! I agree the bumpy look is a preferred look. I like the bumpy look!!!

I am curious about something though... if you are concerned with the bumpy look, is your batting 100% cotton? Did you presoak it before using? If not and you quilted and then washed your quilt, you will be a more "bumpy" look.. this is also known as "antiquing". I think the antiquing look really makes a quilt look beautiful and well loved!!

Cheers :)

Presoak the quilting? Are you supposed to do that?

If you handwash your batting and heat dry, the shrinkage will be much less later on. Some do, some don't, same with fabric washing.

Very nice quilt, you should be proud. :thumbup:

great job on the quilt! I like the "bumpy" look too, I'm sure it is from the batting shrinking during the wash. I love mine that way...makes them just look cozier!
