I couldn't decide between a fluffy polyester batting, or some Warm & Natural cotton batting. So I compromise, W&N with a low loft polyester on top of it. It was a weight that I'm happy with, and hopefully it'll have the fluff and drape I'm shooting for after I wash it.
No yoga classes needed for me, weird pinning angles cover all the moves. ;)
And I decided to go with my husband's suggestion, brown thread. "Milk Chocolate" to be exact, and I think that's a great name for the thread, cuz you certainly can imagine yourself wrapped up in it with a mug of hot chocolate. :)
Maybe I'll even have it all quilted tonight! Dare I hope?!

Your quilt is gorgeous and the chocolate brown thread sounds perfect. Can't wait to see it quilted!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I'm still playing with blocks and you're pinned??? I recommend you try silk batting at least once is you want a great drape- that's what I ordered for my pineapple blossom quilt :)
ReplyDeleteSo what are you going to make with your extra pieces inquiring ( ok nosey ) minds want to know?
Mmmm - I LOVE those colors!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful and I think the chocolate brown thread will be just perfect!
