I had to put the quilt under my sewing machine light to get the shadows of the crinkling to show. I washed it in warm water and dried it in a hot dryer. It has Hobbs Heirloom batting in it.
Then I hung it over a chair so the lights from above would show the texture. You can see that no two spirals are anything alike so it was definitely quilted by human hands. Some little baby is going to love this one.

You are right, they will love it! So soft with that quilty, crinkly goodness. Great job, I love it! Can't wait to see the next one
That looks beautiful Wanda. So safe and cuddlesome!

Oooo... all that puffy crinkliness is one of the reasons I am so in love with quilting! So tactile-ly satisfying!
Beautiful quilting, Wanda. It reminds me of the old fashioned quilts my grandmother used to make.
I love the crinkles. (I need to get some bindings finished so that I can do some serious crinkling of my own!)
I also like how you mixed 2 & 3 rail fence blocks...
I do so love the way quilts transform after being washed and dried ~ softer and crinklier and, as the Velveteen Rabbit taught us, "real." [this aspect has a LOT to do with my abandonment of the silk tie project ~ results weren't going to become a usable, washable, 'real' quilt)
I agree, the crinkles are one of the best reasons for making a quilt. While I'm having fun with the "art" quilts, I keep going back to traditional because of geometry and crinkles. As usual, good job Wanda!
This looks so soft and inviting. Good idea to use your machine light for the photo.
Seeing your baby quilts reminds me that I don't need to make giant quilts! I think I'd get more satisfaction out of doing smaller ones - and I could learn to machine quilt on them as well!
Tour "Arc" quilt is wonderful, thanks for sharing it.
Tis indeed lovely! Love the swirlys
I guess that's about the way mine looks with the Hobbs after washing too. Do you like the crinkly look? I love the swirls!
Lovely! These will be treasures for someone.
Looking at how soft it looks and you talking about a hot dryer...I just feel warm all over...it's lovely quilting!!
I love it, it looks so warm and comfy! I love how they crinkle up after washing with cotton batting.
I can't wait to see what the next one looks like...
Beautiful...someone is going to be one very lucky person...it looks very snuggly.
The spiral quilting looks wonderful! The baby will love it.
