So . . I've posted about helping my DGD make a tee-shirt quilt . . . . and had help from some of you 'seasoned quilters' along the way - - thank you once again . . . .
BUT I have an unusual problem today. Upon opening my bag of batting (Hobbs Heirloom Premium Cotton Batting - Twin Size 72" X 90") to spread it out to let the fold wrinkles rest, I find that I apparently at some prior time 'stole' a chunk about 13" X 15" (I have a vague memory of this theft) which leaves me in a quandary!
The tee-shirt quilt top measures 72" X 90"!?!?!? We planned it that way by using sashing and a border . . . . * * since that roll of batting was sitting on the shelf in the closet that was clearly marked 72" X 90"!
Upon measuring the batting, I find that it actually measures 76" X 97" - I conclude that's because your batting and backing are supposed to be slightly larger than the quilt top.
So therein lies my dilemma . . . that's making me 'batty' > > > > > do I 'steal' some of the extra inches to make a patch? > > or will that leave me a problem not having the extra inches . . to be bigger than the quilt top?
Anybody ever dealt with such 'thievery'????
