My Solstice quilt has been hanging on my wall. Waiting for its batting to come. It finally did. Ellen, who bought the quilt, asked if I could use a high-loft wool batting in it instead of the thin cotton batting I usually use.
I want it to be warm and fluffy, Ellen wrote me. She wants to snuggle under it on these cold winter days.
I had a hard time finding the right batting, but Ellen emailed me some companies that made it and I decided on a company in Minnesota.
Today I sewed the backing together, using one of the squares from the old quilt top that I used pieces from on the front of the quilt.
I’m looking forward to working with the wool batting. I’ve used a polyester high loft batting before, but never wool. I’m curious to see how it looks and feels when it’s done.
Love the colours.
