    Not sure how big it'll be yet. My blocks are cut 12x12 but I suspect I'll be trimming them down a bit and I don't know how many I'll use. I'll keep your offer in mind though. Thanks. :-)

    No. I'm using wool batting. Since the top is satin the quilt won't be washed and the wool provides the puff and structure I want.
