As others have said, the finished project is quite stiff and heavy. I like them for table runners and rugs, but they are too heavy for me to use as quilts. My daughter, on the other hands, loves the weight so she really likes them. Too each his own. I think the best things to do is to try a small project and see how you like it. It never hurts to try a new technique! Can't wait to see your pictures. Have fun.
