Okay, so, this was not my choice but my sister fell in love with this and I could not say no! LOL. Anyways the question I have is can I put something between the top and the backing to help me make the seems less visible without making it any hotter than the fleece flannel combo? I have a regular cotton backing and did not want to use batting because the baby will be here in July in sunny FLORIDA! Again I will say this material was not my choice, it was just nice to see her happy, her husband and all his family are upset because it is not a boy, like she could control that. I think it is my duty to make this work and I have no idea so I am desperately asking for help!!!! Could I put something like interface between it? Maybe? Ugh, help!!!!! Please!!!! LOL

A light muslin might work for you. I wouldn't worry about the seams being visible.

Tell the family to get upset with him and not her. She only has 2 X chromosomes and can't control her side of the pairing. He has the X and Y chromosomes, which do control boy vs. girl.

You might just quilt it without batting. Just the top and the backing.

This. And even if you/she can't tell his family this, then at least let HER know, so that any time anyone says anything to her about it, in her mind she can just laugh at them for being ignorant.

And about the quilt, yeah, a light muslin. Pretty quilt!!! I've never worked with minky, but I hear it's a pain, so congratulations!!!!

That was what I told her (not with the x y chromosome stuff, cause I could not remember what made it where he controlled it, just that he did control it) LOL! They are just jerks... LOL

I think I will get some muslin, I never thought of that. The seems are thick and I am going to go over them with a zig zag stitch but I still worry! But now I will definitely try muslin.
