That is the way I made mine also.!!And to top it off, it was made of polyester knits!! We used it as a play pad for the baby, nice and soft and when one side got dirty we flipped it over for a little more use before washing.

I just made a small one using the row method for stuffing rather than stuffing each individual one. As for the backing, I used fleece and did one row of quilting clear around the puffs. The sides are held by the binding. Nothing else required in my opinion.

I made a biscuit quilt years ago. There was no batting. Each puff was individually stuffed and sewn to each other as I went along. It was tedious, but the resulting quilt was wonderful. I wish I had a picture. It was gifted. It was perfect for Laing a baby on top of.

Back in the Stone Age, some people used cut-up nylon hose to stuff the puffs. Her friends all saved their ruined hose for her.

I'd not put buttons it if it's to be used for a baby - chocking hazard. I made several tree skirt eons ago using this method with triangles. After the biscuits are made, right sides together with the backing, sew around, leave an opening and turn and stitch the opening closed. And do not stuff too full because it really is hard to sew pieces together. (ask me how I know this - and it was just last fall!)

Why do I think, in the olden days, LOL, they used to used old stockings?? Or is that something different?

Used the method shown at www. awaitingada.com . Not easy for sure, but working on it helped to relieve some really severe anxiety, kept me from tearing my face off!

I sure do like your little puff quilt. I have always wanted to make one, so maybe i will see what's on youtube about them. My new little GGD would look so cute laying on top of the one you made. Shall I lend her to you for photos?
