someone also asked -

what kind of batting did you use that shrank so much?

Whose Little Richard?
Obviously one of our younger quilters. :lol: :lol:

I wish! :oops: I'm sorry, I was joking, I do know who he is! I said something on Patrice's Marakesh espresso thread about Crosby Stills Nash and Young, implying I was too young to know who they were - I'm not and I do! So I was carrying on the theme! :D

Love the quilt and the memories (of the song-I wasn't here to see the blocks)
And I would love to know what batting did that to you!

if i remember correctly, i used warm & natural batting.

i don't blame the batting for the way it turned out. if i had quilted it properly in the first place, then the difference between what did and didn't shrink would have added just the right amount of wrinklage. i got lazy.

one day the mood will hit me to fix it. for now, i can at least take it out of the UFO column.

or i could just use it the way it is and "get over myself". it isn't like it was ever destined for a museum. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think it's beautiful....and it deserves to be loved to bits.

I'm sorry it puckered on you but it is very pretty!

That is so pretty. I love the colors. Sorry it puffed up, but I kinda like that effect.

this is from our 2007 Blocks of the Month. i'm pleased with each of the blocks ... was more or less content with the top ...

i didn't add nearly enough quilting, though. the batting shrank like crazy. the fabrics didn't shrink at all. sooooooo ... it's a puckered, puffy mess in person. the only way to flatten it the way i like them is to cut it apart, requilt, and then put it back together. not my idea of a good time. :lol:

i guess that makes it a Finished UFO. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think it's great. As as one of my DDs said, "quilts are supposed to be 'bunchy.' " The more you wash it the better it will look. Fold it up and put it somewhere that it will be used a lot. It'll be the favorite.
