How do I know what size to make? Just guess? Make one and use DH as my model as to the size I need for the quilt? And how much batting do I need to use? Some of the residents are cold ALL the time/ some are HOT all the time. What type of batting do I use? help
Hi Stephanie! I make some things just to donate to the church nursery. I use a cotton top and a flannel backing, or sometimes, flannel and flannel...if it is on sale. When I use flannel I don't generally use batting. If I feel it needs an extra layer I look for a flannel sheet, or very lightweight blanket from Goodwill.
