    That definitely looks like lots of Y seams to me as well! Yikes. I've done them, not overly fond of them but can manage. That said, I'm not sure I'd want to do that particular pattern although I...

    For me it's the pattern first. I don't buy fabric to keep on hand. I buy for each project. Don't have room to maintain a stash.

    I, too, use a hoop in my lap. I can comfortably sit in my chair and reposition myself as needed. I pin baste, usually, unless it's a king size quilt. That many pins make it too heavy to easily...

    I, too, mostly use Warm & Natural. It is a heavy batting but I don't find it adds a lot more warmth as it's 100% cotton and, therefore, breaths. I also like a heavy blanket and this seems to fit...
