When I first started quilting, I really didnât know much about batting. I had just finished the top of my very first quilt and was excited to set out to purchase what was needed for the inner layer.

I wasnât sure why it didnât look like the quilts I had seen elsewhere as mine was âfluffierâ than...

Before we started this project, the kids and I were very undecided if we were able to handle such a huge undertaking. None of us really knew how to sew that well, or how to assemble a quilt for that matter. But, we knew that this year was one that has brought a lot of new experiences into our lives! So, why not go big - and we meant BIG (and at the time did not really understand just how big of a quilt it was.) Understanding that we were going to have a lot of roadblocks, and hiccups, we...
