I was limited by what was available locally in a bleached white. Initially, I purchased cotton batting off the bolt at Joann's, and after basting I decided it was too stiff (gasp). Therefore, I unbasted it as I knew I would be not be satisfied. My local store had Dream Select (80-20). It is working out well, however, the majority of my quilt is being machine quilted for various reasons. I also need to label my batt scraps as it is easy for me to get confused on such an important quilt choice. I am also tweaking some of my quilt embellishments because if I don't it will bug me forever ��. Thanks for the batting update.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667629963983016101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-38059056858656325242017-03-15T12:49:09.101-05:002017-03-15T12:49:09.101-05:00This quilt is looking awesome!

I know what you mean about the unquilted parts plumping up. My woolen flowers do that. Every time I look at it, I think about going back and stitching those down.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844124404215583301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-25508340779188170932017-03-15T08:41:36.736-05:002017-03-15T08:41:36.736-05:00You are a rocket ship!

I love your term "lots of real estate" in those borders! This quilt is so marvelous. I do hope I get to see it in person soon. If it makes you feel any better, I had to shovel my way through 18" of that white stuff before I made it into work this morning. Even for Maine, that is quite a lot to deal with considering spring is only 6 days away!Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-17033496874851148682017-03-14T13:29:54.396-05:002017-03-14T13:29:54.396-05:00Wow, your 'Contentment' quilt is awesome! ...Wow, your 'Contentment' quilt is awesome!

I like those things in the summer time. We're expecting temps down to the mid teens in a couple of days.
