I was looking at Karen McTavish's book last week and she used COTTON LAWN for her top piece on some of her quilts. Thought "that is what the ladies on the board were talking about"! She did backing, batting, felt or whatever for the color, then used cotton lawn for the top. Guess it is thinner than regular cotton.
On the Karen McTavish DVD I have she called it cotton BATISTE fabric. I found some and it is not as see-through as the organza, but the patterned toile underneath it still shows through quite nicely. I plan to try a piece with that also. (One of my "failure" pieces was with the cotton batiste...I seems very difficult to trim against also.)

It's been a learning experience for me, but I like the results...

You did a great job! I think I'll get some more regular quilting under my belt before moving on to this sort of thing. Very interesting technique.

Very pretty but it does look like it was work out! Good on you... I think I will just admire your work and stick to the basics for me
