But in answer to your question the closeness of the quilting depends on how I decide to quilt it. The Looney Tunes quilts have been quilted at about your 1" measure, but the large scrappy is probably 1 1/2 to 2".
Thanks for all the kind words. It has been a way for me to pay back all the wonderful care he was given.

You must be looking at a different thread and pictures than I am.
... I see bright colours and I see kids panels and prints and ABC's.
All finished with a whole lot of love!
Since when did Tweety Bird, and friends not be for kids?

So bright and cheery! Can't look at them without smiling, and I'll bet parents with fragile little ones sure need a smile. And some day they can say to their growing child -"When you were very, very little, someone made this tiny quilt just for you."
