Here is the rest of my test quilting… aka doll quilts… (if so desired). Hand-dyed fabrics, wholecloth, my design, practice with some new rulers, and testing battings. Part 1 Part 2
Nothing is perfect and I’m OK with that… they are practice pieces… I know that… so I know there are errors. I’m OK with that so I hope you are too. They sat around waiting for finishing. (imagine that!) Now they are finished, bound, and washed & dried.
One quilt (L) has a layer of Hobbs 80/20 batting and 2 layers of Legacy wool batting. The other quilt (R) has just 2 layers of Legacy wool batting.
I used Legacy wool because I had it. I won’t buy it anymore. I much prefer Hobbs 100% wool batting. Mostly because it took 2 layers of Legacy to make 1 layer of Hobbs in my opinion. OK… Hobbs is a great brand of batting all over!
I can see the wool only quilt has a bit more poof to it and is a lighter feel. For my future plans, I’ll stick with just the wool when I want that look.
Usually I do a wholecloth quilt more heavily quilted but I didn’t feel the need on practice pieces for play.
and sew on...
