It's the batting, if you use natural fibre batting, or so I've been told. That's why I like the polyester batting sometime, i don't have to warn the recipients that the quilt will shrink if they dry it. I threw the quilt in the wash on hot first, and it didn't shrink at all...Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222951825948992105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631778498613442907.post-43435674785819036052010-03-25T12:01:31.277-04:002010-03-25T12:01:31.277-04:00It is just beautiful!
