I am never quite sure which batting to use for a specific project. I am currently creating a twin size quilt for my 8 year old grandson. I would like it to be soft and durable. I will be using some free motion quilting and stitch in the ditch. I would appreciate any ideas.

I have recently become the “contact person” for the Quilts of Valour - Canada Society for mainland BC and would like to invite you to help support our cause.
The mission of QoV - Canada is to ensure that our wounded Canadian soldiers are recognized for their bravery and commitment of their true patriotism to our country. We give this support through the presentation of quilts of comfort made for our military service people.
Quilts can be made by individuals or groups or guilds. There is no limit to the number of quilts, no specific pattern or size. A preferred minimum size for Quilts of Valour is 50″ x 60″; the maximum is twin sized, usually 72″ x 96″. They should be large enough to provide comfort, but small enough for the long arm quilter volunteers to schedule in between their customers’ quilts if you are not quilting it yourself.
Plan a Canadiana theme! We have seen many maple leaf quilts and they are stunning! The red/white or traditional looking patterns always work but are not a must. Think moose, mountains, Maritimes, maple leaves, inukshuk and prairies. Make the quilts traditional or not! Details can be found at http://www.automatedquill.com/QoV or you can email me at scrappyblue@gmail.com for more information.
Support our Troops!
