Yep, I do Cotton Theory. I am certified as an instructor, in fact, since I completed the week-long Cotton Theory class taught by Betty Cotton at her school in Wisconsin.

Betty had some quilts on display in the classroom that she had made as well as some made by her students. They are to die for. If I ever get to the point where my work looks 1/10 that good, I will be a very happy quilter indeed.

I loved the reversible jacket they showed on TV that was made using this technique and plan to try it some day.

I have only watched their demonstrations at the larger quilt shows. Interesting technique.

did my first cotton theory quilt in a class about 6-7 years ago..
i have a quilt in a box, for the past ... oh 5 years i guess, that has the prep done but i have not taken the time to sit down and make it...it is to me very time consuming....and i seem to strive for (instant gratification) i get it out once in awhile and peer at it thinking...well i have about $500 sitting in that box...one of these days i have to take the time to make it. i guess my biggest hold up is that i'm always working on quilts that have a purpose (dd b'day, holidays...ya know) and the one in the box is already terribly expensive and i do not know anyone who i would want to give it to....oh well, one of these days i will finish it. it just takes sooooooooo long doing it that way; nothing like piecing a quilt top then quilting it...it seems like it takes 10 times as long to accomplish the same thing....that is probably just me...but i have over 20 hours into just the cutting/prep work...anyway. i'd love to see a couple done...

I posted a tutorial for this in July. I have pics that are step by step. I love how quickly this works up.

Craftybear, I'd love to help anyone with questions/comments about Cotton Theory. If I don't know how to help you, I can find out from my other instructor friends.

bought the book, tried it, didn't like it, maybe i was mis-reading instru - seems like it made the quilt too stiff.
