Acts of kindness – Part 2

The second quilt, generously finished by a quilting group, for one of their group members, who succumbed to cancer, to give to her children.

Slight problem with puffiness in the quilt.  I soon noticed that not all fabric was quilting cotton but some were either curtaining or upholstery fabric.  When the top was placed on a slippery surface such as a table or tile floor it seemed fine but when placed on a carpet and the blocks flattened out, the quilters cotton had plenty of puffiness in them.  They obviously have more give than the thicker curtaining.

Edge to edge all-over quilting it had to be.  This allows me to shift the puffiness to areas where it would be less noticeable and it works every time.
