You should be very proud of this quilt. In a day when nobody can claim that the 'camera doesn't lie', I think it would be difficult to get a camera to lie to this extent. No fabric glue seems to be used here in any form that matters to the integrity of the quilt. My eyes and super senses are grateful for this. I would find it difficult to use such a quilt, even if real quilts are designed to be good for use. Did you or are you using this?

Nope, no glue, just thread. Lots and lots of thread. I'm still kind of stunned at how well the quilting turned out - it was my first try at machine quilting anything.... And, believe it or not, is *is* being used (although I expect only lightly). I was a baby gift for my cousin's first child, and through dumb luck, it matched the decorating in the baby's room so I think it was used as a crib quilt. Of course, the baby is now 3 and he may have gotten tired of it. I don't mind, either. Although I've done an art quilt (and expect to do more in the future), I made this one with the intent of being used. I like to make things that are both beautiful and useful.
