But you must not be too new to sewing because you knew how to trim the corners before you turned the project right side out! Also, it CAN be tricky to sew and turn 3 layers. I once did a smallish quilt and after the first try, the batting was on the outside of the thing: after ripping that seam I now think through it before I sew!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517539374153323323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715785490417606870.post-11689181015979127322016-02-04T07:50:12.629-06:002016-02-04T07:50:12.629-06:00To be sure there's no bunching you could put a...To be sure there's no bunching you could put a few large safety pins in it to hold everything in place.

It washes beautifully and gets even softer each time I dry it!Cindy DIY beautifyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478403548578247406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715785490417606870.post-62040473989050426302016-02-03T10:52:24.628-06:002016-02-03T10:52:24.628-06:00Hi Cindy, this looks beautiful, I just have one qu...Hi Cindy, this looks beautiful, I just have one question, "Does it bunch up when you wash it?" I'd LOVE to try this, but my comforters get pretty heavy use and require frequent laundering.
