Hello everyone
First off, happy new year to everyone. Hope all your wishes come true and you find new dreams.
I am now working on yet another sampler quilt, having finally finished the flying geese quilt for DD2 (note to self; get a picture of that posted!).
This sampler quilt will be a biggie (as are all quilts for my bed - duh!). And I will NOT wrestle this thing under the machine to quilt it. And hand quilting is no really an option I don't think.
So, I've been thinking. I have a piece of dream puff batting that I'd like to try on this quilt. I would like to cut the batting into squares, more or less the size of the finished block, and then quilt each block separately. Then sew all the blockst together (haven't quite decided on/figured out the right technique), and then add another layer of the batting and the backing in one piece and then just quilt through the square joining lines to hold the second piece in place. That way the backing would still be in one piece and the additional layer of batting will help hide the seams and irregularities caused by sewing the blocks together.
Does this make any sense at all???
Anyway, does anyone have any experience with this batting? I like the idea of the dream puff because of weight....
All thoughts are welcome. Claudia
