OK, so several of us have signed-up for the UFO challenge. How about we post some "before" pics with a little history/intent behind the quilt.
Here are a set of three (will be four soon) that I must complete before Oct. 18 for a baby shower that I am throwing. I am making a doll quilt for each of the sisters of the baby that's coming, but I have only one top finished. When I complete the other, I'll post it, too. This is the top of the baby quilt I must finish... [ATTACH=CONFIG]18920[/ATTACH] This is a doll quilt for one of the big sisters of the coming baby. [ATTACH=CONFIG]18921[/ATTACH] This quilt will be used for people to sign at the shower. I have fineline Sharpies to use for the signing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]18922[/ATTACH] |

This is the other UFO I have. It's actually two. It started life as a quilt for our older daughter when we thought we'd put her in a twin bed and skip the toddler bed altogether. We decided, however, to put her in a toddler bed and go a different direction with the girls' room.
SO, it ended up being TWO lap quilts -- one for each grandmother for Christmas. Should I use wool or cotton batting? If I use wool, what shoud I know about usng wool? I hope they like them! [ATTACH=CONFIG]18918[/ATTACH] |
Very nice. A lot to get done. Hope you make it.

Love the rosebuds. I've never used wool batting, can't help you there.
|
Great quilts. I have only used cotton batting. Would wool shrink?

Would wool shrink? Thanks, Moonpi. I fell in love with the rosebuds at quilterscache.com. |
Very cute quilts, great job!!!

I really like all your UFOs and I think making doll quilts for the sisters of the baby is such a darling idea.
I have never used wool batting, but I do not think it is any warmer than cotton batting. Some hand quilters prefer wool because natural oil in the wool and they say it needles better. |
I don't know if anyone else has told u this but you may NOT want to use sharpies on the quilt if you are EVER going to wash it. I received onsies (from my babyshower) that has drawings on them and when I washed them they bled and faded. So what was beautiful turned into an ugly muddy mess. I would say use perm cloth markers. Just a lil lesson learned here.. :) Your quilts look great!!
