Quilting woes
I’m never pre-washing a quilt batting again. What a pain in the butt! I’ll happily settle for that “antique” look that involves not pre-washing. :P
I’m currently working on a gift for my mother, who attempted to make her first quilt last winter and ran into some, erm, problems. I’m using her quilt top, but I’ve replaced her batting (she didn’t have enough) and her backing (she didn’t have enough of this, either). I’ve also picked up a binding material that I hope she’ll like; the only pattern I could find that worked well was in flannel, which causes some wear concerns. Oh well, I can always repair it in the future. Because that’s what a good crafter does, right?
