It turned out beautiful. Your DH looks very happy with it. Relax and enjoy your efforts. After a few years you will forget how crazy it made you.

What a sweet quilt , I really do like it. I love the story it is just the type of thing I tend to do-- I always scolding myself because I set myself up and paint myself into a corner. Glad you carried on it looks worth it.

Be well

I think it is a beautiful quilt. I do understand your disappointment with it being stiff. However, I think you should pat yourself on the back for all the lessons learned and your perseverance. I am thankful you shared your information with the rest of us so we can learn from your mistakes too.

What brand of printable did you use? I have made memory quilts using the Bubble Jet items to prepare cotton fabric and the Bubble Jet rinse after printing. I have also used the pretreated fabric sheets. I printed "heavy" ink pics on both for a sample, let them air dry, then soaked in water, and then in the washing machine on "delicate". Once dried in the dryer and ironed, they looked great. The pretreated fabric sheets softened. After incorporating with block in a quilt, I washing the entire quilt in delicate and dried in the dryer. The quilt was a hit and looked great. I purchase my products at http://www.cjenkinscompany.com/
