Using 2 batts; a cotton poly with a wool batt on top. It is a bit challenging handling the thickness of it. I wanted to try it since I'd heard that it worked very well for some tight quilting. So far I've done stabilizing; just in the ditch quilting along the edges of the zigzags.
Here I'm sorting my pink scraps to make kits to hand out for the next charity quilt:

I am also making a bigger version of my Texas flag pattern that is sold at Quakertown Quilts. Here are the first 8 of 24 blocks; I only worked on them this weekend when I was too tired to do anything else.
I may have gone over board a bit on the binding.....There are 26 yards plus 12 inches of binding here...I didn't want to figure out how much binding to make...so 1 1/4 yards of fabric purchased; cut into continuous bias binding...do you think it is enough? And what should I do with the extra?

That is awesome! I really liked making piping. but 26 yards might be a bit much for enjoyment. :)
That's a lot of binding, but I'm sure you'll use it up as productive as you are. And thanks for the link to the Texas flag quilt. I want to make that one.
