I'll probably back wth fleece, and use the wadding. Then do an edge just to see what a mess I make of it. Then again it will probably be so padded and huge it wont go in the car...decisions decisions...Bells & Labshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616794431269069304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511830915476113380.post-90012303957509133722012-01-23T01:00:43.618+00:002012-01-23T01:00:43.618+00:00Cathy H - that is exactly how I did my Telly Tub q...Cathy H - that is exactly how I did my Telly Tub quilt.

Sew fleece and patchwork right sides together around the edge, turn right way out and stitch around edge. Then just do some light 'quilting' to fasten the two layers together. <br />I have done a couple of quilts this way - much quicker and easier than all the wadding and backing, basting and quilting and edging. xxCathy Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364020336622056166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511830915476113380.post-44891105073360932062012-01-22T23:23:03.736+00:002012-01-22T23:23:03.736+00:00Hmmmm, Donkey tent springs to mind for Harry the H...Hmmmm, Donkey tent springs to mind for Harry the Hemp. The Mr Men quilt looks brill. Want one and want it now. It's very nearly the same as a Telly Tubbies junior bed quilt I made (YONKS) ago for one of the grandkids. <br /><br />Your lass has sewing reversal syndrome this week, she needs a kick up the jacksy <br /><br />(Geddit??
