I love the simplicity of the quilt. Shame about the huge amount of shrinkage but nonetheless, still a generous sized quilt.

I haven't made too many quilts but it seems like sometimes I just have too many scraps (or too much of one color of fabric) and have to find something to create with it.

It's just a scrap quilt, but still, I won't do it like that again. Lesson learned!<br /><br />What kind of batting do you use?

I assume that all quilts shrink some but suspect that cotton shrinks more than some others (except wool probably shrinks the most). I don't know when I'll use a poly or poly/cotton bat again but if/when I do, I'll measure that one, too.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-33026452262650064152013-09-20T21:05:40.484-04:002013-09-20T21:05:40.484-04:00Thank you, Nesta.
