I am taking amachine piecing class at Windy Moon. We are doing a simplified log cabin. My center blocks all have custom art work in them that I had he fabric made. They are all Bruce's artwork. Think of a cricket all dressed up that is the center squares.
Hi hoppa,
I have to tell a little story. I found a hand embroidered baby quilt at a garage sale many years ago. It had fabric like cheesecloth but the design was so cute, I couldn't resist. I bought a Knit weight interfacing and ironed it to the entire back of the quilt. It stablized it perfectly without adding too much weight to the quilt top. I had no trouble quilting through it either.
So there you have it. Interfacing in the lightest weight. The frey check is good too, but, I would avoid quilting into it directly. It hardens like nail polish.
I don't know how big your holes are. But there are many fabrics I sew with that have holes built into them. I like cotton eyelet fabric for shirts duringspring and summer. It doesn't make any difference during the washing. Do you see where I am going here?
Take the blocks with you to windy moon and see what they have to say. I am pretty sure you are fretting about something that isn't going to matter. But, they can advise you better when they see them. By the way, I love windy moon quilts. I always go to breakfast at Big Ed's on fourth when I go over there. It is where elko dead ends into fourth. Very good food and nice people run it. You can see the windy moon sign from the booths. They make a great breakfast until like two thirty or something like that.... LOL!
