Two tops have been bound …
The first Happy Block top, backed with Cuddle donated to HeartStrings by Shannon Fabrics. It’s my 15th UFO finish for the year so even though I feel like I’m working more slowly this year I’m making good progress.
And the Chinese Coins Doll quilt.
You keep on truckin’ no matter what is going on in your life. Love the pieced binding adding just a touch more color to the happy squares quilt.
Hi Mary, Have to say I agree heartily with the above comment – am in awe of your productivity! Have a question and happy to have you answer on this page so others can see it. What batting do you use under the cuddle fabric? Would like to have a go at this but wonder about thickness. Please gice details, eg brand as well as type of batting and whether or not it has a scrim
Anne, on these I’ve used Pellon – 80/20 Cotton/Polyester Batting With Scrim – Needle Punched. I bought a couple small rolls from Joann’s a while ago and it’s a little thinner than my usual Hobbs 80/20 but I’ve also used Hobbs Thermore batting which is a very thin poly batting when I’m going to use a minkee type backing. It just depends on where the quilt is going. These will go to Maine so the Pellon batting works well with them – not too thick but plenty warm.
