I mainly use cotton as they were meant to be quilts that had ideas above their station ....
Apart from
Stellarious, the massive Star quilt!
This was a Jenny Doan make where out of a layer cake (10" sqs) you could quickly and easily achieve a huge star ...
Wonderful, Whats not to like?? So I made one, It looked fab so I made 5 others and put them together for an awe inspiring, tape measure busting quilt of 56 1/2" x 82 1/2" and then sets in the realisation that you now have to layer it and buy backing !!!
£££££
So I went round getting ever disappointed by the cost of backing such a humungouos piece until I went to Fabricland and found some HEAVY cream chenille ... at a very good price! It sewed like a dream, think hot knife and butter, and the weight of the chenile ensures it hangs perfectly.
I have some left over you know ?!
