I had taken a class on a quilt from a Tahitian quiltmaker - from Tahiti - whom instructed us on not even using a batting or a backing...essentially sewing/ piecing a 1 layer fabric for use while living in the heat of the Caribbean.... she also mentioned a top and a backing work well as a quilt to be used in these hot weather areas (sometimes the Hawaiian quilt makers make their quilts this way) ...it's still a quilt. Interesting that silk batting can be made. Will have to try one inside a baby's quilt...
Very easy pattern and oh, so pretty! Fabric choice is beautiful. I have never tried the silk batting but would like to give it a try. Also, your blouse is very pretty. Thanks.
Your video says to cut 3 sets of strips but only shows you using two of them. How does the other set come in? You also say to cut some 5 1 winch strips but you don’t do that in your video. Before I begin I’d like to know these things. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing. I am very grateful for the informative tutorials you provide. Have you ever quilted a 'summer' quilt on your longarm? That is a quilt with only a sheet or lightweight fabric as a batting? What issues would one expect to have if attempting to longarm quilt it themselves?

We live in Florida so lightweight is important to me.
Great video! Thanks for batting discussion.
Do you have a pattern with sizes to cut the fabric?
Hadn't heard of silk batting before. Good information and a lovely quilt too.
