    Eddie, you did a great job! Did you also put on the borders and if so, did you use polyester or cotton for the bindings?

    I can remember those heavy quilts, sure were warm.

    I used cotton fabric for the binding on all of them. It was the same as the backing fabric. So that backing, batting, and binding are all cotton, which really helped to contain the stretchiness of all that polyester. I just did a medium sized meandering on all 3 of these.

    They are beautiful, I especially like the Boston Commons one. We have a polyester quilt my DH's grandmother made years ago. The squares were machine sewn on her treadle but then each square was outlined in a hand-embroidered blanket stitch and the whole quilt was hand quilted. Indeed it was heavy but very warm. It is getting a little raggedy so we only look now, don't use.
