Yes, I did use a batting (Quilters Dream Orient again!) and that IS a wonderful flannel. I believe it was from Fabric.com but selvage gives no information! Plow ahead with your and be happy with it!

Kelly I sewed the back side on first by machine, then flipped it to the front and used a machine "blanket" stitch. Luckily the picture got a section where the stitches went right into the ditch!!

I M impressed with the way you matched the dots in the binding. I probably would not have even thought to do this. It appears you used a mitered technique, but please tell us how you managed this. Fantastic, happy quilt.

That is one cute and adorable quilt! Keeping the black and white frames on the animals WAS A BIG CHALLENGE I can see. However, it adds a great character to the quilt. I think you took DP9 to a new height.
