I used Hobbs 80/20 cotton/poly batting in this one, but I also use Warm & Natural cotton batting. Both are a rather thin batting, which I prefer.

What a wonderful present. It makes it so special that you know so much history about the pieces.

I'll just bet each of those tiny blocks and pieces were all hand quilted by her. A beautiful quilt, you did great too. What an heirloom.

Yes, they were. I looked at the back of the top and it's so neat to see someone's hand piecing stitches from 80 or so years ago. I look at them and wonder what they were doing while stitching those - were they talking with loved ones, listening to the radio, sitting on the front porch, watching over grandchildren, etc.
