I finally got the backing together for my little scrap quilt. I went back and forth whether or not to try to use the remaining scraps in the back.
But after thinking about it, I decided that was going to take way too long.
So I decided to use some fabric from Amy Butler’s Lark collection that I’ve been hoarding saving for a special quilt. I added a couple of solids to make it big enough.
I’m trying wool batting for the first time. I’m not so sure this is a great idea with summer coming, but I’m going to give it a go. I’ve always wanted to try it. The packaging promises that it quilts like a dream. I’ll let you know.
Now that I’ve got all the pieces of the sandwich ready, it’s time to start basting!

I love the piecing you do Nicole, but I especially love the way you quilt. Can't wait to see it all done. Happy pinning!
Looks like its going to be a great quilt! Can't wait to see the quilting pattern you use and the backing! =D
Have fun with the finishing!
so excited to see the next step!
I'll be curious to read your thoughts on the batting after the first wash. My LQS just displayed a quilt with batting made from recycled soda bottles. I love the idea. I just really love the shrinky crinkles from cotton batting! http://www.paperstarfish.prettyposies.com
I can't wait to see it quilted.
I like wool batting best. I find that it's cool in summer. I think because it's a natural fiber it doesn't trap your body heat. That's my theory anyway, I could be way off 😉
Good luck with the quilting – my least favorite part of the whole process!
Can't wait to hear how you like the wool batting . . . I've been reading about the benefits of wool lately . . . that it breathes much better than cotton, is naturally antibacterial/anti-dust mite.
Happy basting! I am ally looking forward to seeing the finished quilt 🙂
Quilter's Dream wool batting DOES quilt like a dream. And it's not too hot in summer. Can't wait to see more!
I agree – wool batting is wonderful. Can't wait to see your results. And… wanted to let you know I included your blog on my "Liebster" list. I'm really enjoying your blog!
