Last summer, I bought a sample pack of Hobbs battings. Eighteen by eighteen squares, very neatly labeled with what each of the battings are composed of and their properties. I had planned on making myself a lesson plan. I've heard a lot about Hobbs' 80/20 batting.
So I started playing with these battings this week end. I've been cutting the batting square in half and using some old muslin as my top and backing. You can see I've made myself notes on what I'm doing on each square. I want to stitch around the edges and then wash them to see how they turn out. Here are some of my "experiments."

I'm pretty impressed with the photos. Late afternoon sun really shows up the texture.
Thanks,
