And batting is never washed first. Send me a picture when you finish it, I’ll share it with our blog readers.

I am using your rag quilt tutorial to make my first quilts! I have cut up my girls’ old baby clothes into 8 x 8 squares, enough to make a big girl twin bed quilt for each of them. Now I have to cut the batting.

I wanted to ask if you think 6 x 6 is the best size for the batting? So there will be a gap between the stitch on either side and the batting, right? Will it show through thinner fabrics (the bulkiness of the batting)? Or is the idea that the hang over from the frayed fabrics will fill this space? I am using Warm and Natural batting, and I understand that I do not need to wash this first. Do you recommend otherwise? Thanks for your help!

It’s all a matter of preference.

I have always used a thin batting (Warm & Natural which is pricey!).
Will it be too thin to not use a batting of any kind? I just can’t “see” it! :)

Thank you!
Janet
