One of my charity quilting ladies made a beautiful quilt with the Cotton Theory method. It was as already posted stiff and weighs an absolute ton. I just picked up a pattern called Fun & Done Quilting by Prairie Sky Quilting. If you are interested in a quilt as you go method I recommend looking into this one. Most importantly pick up the Fun & Done Quilting template set. You don't need the template for cutting necessarily, but will love the template for exact placement of the batting.
