Your throws look great...If I may ask what kind of batting do you use....its so fluffy...I need to try please.

Hi everybody! I called the quilt store and the batting I used is just a 4 oz. polyester. They said that Hobb's sells a 3.3 oz., 4 oz., 6, 8, and 10 oz. It really makes a nice 'fluffy' quilt.

Yes, it really is simple. I can help you to make it. I've helped alot of other people by email. It's just 4 Patches and Triangle-Square Units. I'm not familiar with all the terms of quilting yet and half to go get my quilting book and look up everything so I can say what things are. :lol: But that doesn't stop me!!!
You can sew the Triange-Sq. units before you cut them too, so you don't have to sew on the bias. I've already sent you my email address so just email me if you need help.

I really like your Jacobs ladder quilts, they're beautiful! I'm sure they will love them. If not, you can send them to me.
