just look what i made today - just don't look too close, my thingies don't match up but the newborn baby boy i made it for won't notice it a bit, and I bet neither will his Mother.

Oh that is cute, dojo!
The thing about muslin is there is many grades of it. You have to buy the good stuff or it will shrivel up and look like a prune.

oh crap, dumb me, i just noticed that i forgot to put the crosswise sashing strips - just put the vertical ones, did anybody else notice that? i just now noticed it when i posted the pic, dang it.

dojo...don't worry about it...that was a design decision on your part, right??? It looks really cute just as is and the baby nor his mom will notice that either! :lol:

Nice quilt Dojo.

Well, getting that swatch wet then ironing worked. I was sprinkling it with water but I guess it just wanted another bath. :D

Tomorrrow I cut that last piece then put together the square to see if my idea works. If it does I wll be a cutting manic for a bit since I have 210 squares to make for this quilt. But it will be worth it once it is done and I can sleep warm this winter. i will post if it work or not with a pick.

I love muslin to, just something about it. Love to sash with it or do the backing.
I have a spray bottle by my iron for hard to get out wrinkles. Its the only way to get that fold line out of material that has been on the bolt. Spray the heck out of it.

simple quilter

I use muslin alot for backings, it is soooo soft! I bought a bolt, washed it and re-rolled so it's ready to go whenever I need it.

I think it's cute!
It's supposed to have crosswise strips? Hmmm.......I like it as is!

well thanks Terri, I think i'll just leave it as is. too much trouble to fix it. it's for somebody that doesn't know anything about quilting anyhow.

I think it's precious! Don't change a thing :-)
