Thanks for the info. I've just bought a bolt of batting so will use that up first, but I think it might be fun to try a "puffy" quilt one day. :-)

Great quilt! I'm curious - what kind of batting do you use to make your quilt look so puffy and soft?[/QUOTE
My husband and my girls too, like the poof of the quilts and they are soft. This is what I use. I can get it at JoAnns or Walmart. I think I’ve bought it at Hobby Lobby too. Don’t know if any of these stores are available to you. I know some quilters like it and some don’t, but we do.

For those looking for the blue quilt, here's the link https://www.quiltingboard.com/vbulle...s-t320626.html.
toogie, did you use the same batting in both quilts? The looser quilting in the yellow one would allow your high loft batting to show better.
I am drawn to the yellow one, but I think that's more the color than the quilting. Both are lovely! I only use cotton or wool batting, polyester is just too hot for me. I've always run hot, and now that I'm older, that's more true than ever. Who knew that hot flashes continue well after menopause. So unfair! The extra weight doesn't help, but I've lost half of what I'd like and don't see any difference.
Would you share the name of the pattern?

I really didn’t have a pattern just a picture I saw online. I just called it squares set on point with 9patch border-lol Thank you for adding the link to Eva’s blue quilt. I did use the same batting but stitched Eva’s a lot closer. Hers has a bumpy feel to the hand and a little more body. The yellow was stitched further apart and has a more drape-y feel and soft to the hand. The one I saw online had a red border like the quilting board member shows in a comment above.
