    The back is terry towelling and there is no batting so I think it counts as a towel. I will take it to the Red Sea on our next trip to see the pretty fishes.

    It was a bit difficult to quilt as the terry cloth doesn't slide easily and I only have a very small domestic machine.

    If it's pieced and quilted, I would call it a quilt. If it has no batting, it's a summer quilt, but a towel!!!!!

    I did one towel many years ago, and remember putting down a piece of paper for the toweling to ride on to keep it out of the bottom. May have also put on on top, don't remember. I sewed slowly and kept it firm by holding it front and back as it sewed. But I do remember very well swearing never to sew toweling again. Ever.

    I love all the bright colors you used. I like the name "one fish, two fish...." but I grew up with Dr. Suess and it always holds fond memories for me.
