Ugh! Families! Sometimes don't you wonder that you would never have anything to do with these people if you weren't related to them!? I do..

Cotton bat has that old time feel I think, but it is not the thick cushy feel of quilts today.
I have a friend who made a top to fit her down comforter because that was the warm fluffiness she wanted. It actually worked! as it is a sealed unit.

I like that you can use whatever you want or have on hand, like they did in the old days...
