I did the last 3 rows of quilting, cut and sewed on the binding and then washed and dried this blue jeans, corduroy and flannel quilt.
I use Hobbs 80/20 batting and this roll was a little bit firm so it needed to be washed to soften it. I buy the batting on the 30 yard roll and there is just one piece 80" x 96" left on it. I bought a new roll and it is much softer.
There was a larger piece of patchwork made from all of the lighter colors so it was enough for 2 mug rugs. These are 10 and 1/2" x 8 and 1/2".
This was a good place to use one of the larger Kaffe prints. I decided to use it for the binding too, mostly because I didn't feel like looking for another coordinating print.
Once you start them they are hard to stop. Quick gratification with a quick finish. The denim and cord quilt looks warm. I am off to get something done. Chris
