Re: Backing pro's & con's
Cheri thanks for your guidance. I've wondered this as well. As a new quilter I first bought Warm and Natural for 3 reasons, first it was cotton, second, I knew the brand name from home dec sewing and felt comfortable with the quality, and third a 50% off coupon at Joann's. Since then I bought a Hobbs 80/20 and it seems a little more drapy. But neither quilt has been washed a lot yet. My current and next up projects are living room furniture throws, which I want to feel soft and cuddly. So probably the Hobbs is better for this purpose. Yes? No? Budget is a consideration.
Another related question, although I am not trying to hijack this thread. I like the look of the densely quilted FMQ designs for certain quilts. It's really beautiful. But doesn't that make the quilt more stiff? It just seems like some of the very decorative designs are more suited to a piece you want to be a bed cover and look lovely but not necessarily be snuggly. Any guidance? (Not that I am ready for that type of quilting. That would be in the not so near future, lol.)
