Don't make this mistake...when birthing a quilt.
#1
What was I thinking...I put my fleece fabric right sides together...started quilting....then remembered I need to turn it inside out..but I figured I can turn it inside out even though I started to quilt...what a mess...its half turned inside out and I can not find the threads to use my seam ripper....so for you that are doing a birthing quilt/blanket...do not quit them together before turning it inside out.

Opps. It happens. Yesterday I put borders on a block and went to the machine to start quilting. It felt different and when I checked again, there was no batting or backing. I would have never made this confession, but since you spoke up, so did I.

It worked out fine...kitties are happy. I also had enough to make a small lap kitty quilt - just enough for them to lay out on while on our laps. for that one I was able to do a birthing quilt. I did find that I do not like working with fleece. I will stick with cotton and flannel.

Just make sure to sew the batting to only one side first, wrong side together just on the edges, then sew them to the other side of the quilt top. then you can turn them inside out....pin if you did not baste...hand sew the opening closed and you can machine quilt But sound like thin batting like warm and natural works best. then once done many sew a 1/4 inch all around the outside of the quilt to look like a binding. I have been researching this...some look wonderful.
