I rather like the wrinkling - makes it look antique-y!

Beautiful quilts! I have heard of using white flannel instead of batting, but I have never heard of using muslin.

That is so cute! I love quilts with animals that children can learn to pick out as they grow....and the words, too!

Adorable!

I wonder if I should have used something other than muslin. All in the learning process!

Anyway, I still like it. I quilted by writting the words 'oink, moo, and quack' all over. You can kind of see it in the second picture!

Could you tell me the name of this pattern? I need to make a few toddler/baby quilts and this looks like it would be quick to do. It really is pretty in spite of the "crinkling" which I actually like!
