I hate the batting/ quilting part, but I always push through so I can see it finished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-31093438644403826792012-02-13T18:11:44.169-05:002012-02-13T18:11:44.169-05:00Hi, Travis’s Mom! :-)

I don’t even want to think about how long it would take me to hand quilt this big one. I need to get this finished and on Lars’s bed because I have been promising this quilt to him for several years already and the quilt on his bed right now is the one I made him when he was 3 years old – some of the fabrics I used are pretty babyish now that he’s an eleven-year-old!<br /><br />I’ve used thin 100% cotton batting in all of my past quilts, but this time I’m trying out Hobbs Tuscany Silk batting, a 90/10 silk/poly that I’ve heard great things about from other quilters.

I am Stacey's mother in law, and I...Hi Rebecca,<br />I am Stacey's mother in law, and I have made 5 or 6 baby quilts. Only last year did I try machine quilting, which is ok but I like the look of hand quilting. Ok for baby sized quilt but not practical for a larger one, I'm sure.<br /><br /> I love your colors. I am trying to get inspired to make the last of the grandchildren's quilts. I seem to have run out of ideas! Seeing the fabrics in yours has perked me up. I like the bright hues rather than pastels.<br /><br />Good luck! Using a flatter cotton batting should make it not as bulky with your machine. It's easy to work with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
