Polly, so you have the problem of the innards of the biscuits bunching up
after washing? Just asking cause a very long time ago I made a 4 inch square biscuit quilt using panty hose cut in strips for the filling. It was just a baby quilt, and after a few washings it started bunching up. I didn't have a clothes dryer at the time and just hung it on the line to dry. Thanks! Barbara in SC |

oh,I see, have seen them before but did'nt know what they were called.Very
pretty to look at,.I must investigate more! Thankyou Polly. "Polly Esther" wrote in message nk.net... There's a good picture of a biscuit quilt at fabricattic.com - click on the Easy Biscuit Quilting book (but you don't really need a book for this one). Marsha's instructions over at quilterscache seem a little more painstaking than necessary. There's really no need to actually pin in an inverted pleat - a little tuck works just fine. Polly "Estelle Gallagher" wrote Help, whats a biscuit quilt,I imagine it is just squares,tell me if I am wrong.lol |

I declare
there's more in there than when I started. While I was clipping the stray threads here and there, I noticed some bearding going on. Is there a better quality stuffing available than what's at WallyWorld? Polly Finally something I can sort of answer. I was given a partial bag of stuffing that is different than any I have used before (I have used a lot). It is called "Cluster Soft" by Morning Glory. According to the package there are three different weights depending on how firm an item you want. Can't find a company address, but this is the toll free number listed: "Creative Help Line 1-800-406-4080 Haven't called so no experience. The stuffing looks like some that has pilled up, but I like what I have used so far. Anna Belle in Palm Bay |

Long ago, I made one with bigger squares and the stuffing shifted. I
sneaked into each biscuit with a long needle, spread out the innards and tacked the squares in the center. That took a couple of evenings by the tv to get done but it worked just fine. This new quilt has much smaller biscuits and they are fully stuffed so (we hope) there isn't room for shifting.

Oh my, did this almost 40 years ago. Used biscuits that were about 2"
finished, made two twin quilts, but I remember it took me a long time to get enough pantyhose.

Just sent three plastic grocery bags filled with smaller pieces of fabric
with my stepfather to take to his senior center. I had to laugh because he kept poking at them, shifting them around, then finally said he didn't think he could take them all at once (too heavy). I told him one at a time would be fine. I had to stop myself from going back into the bags and removing some I liked and thought I could use. Sigh . . . saying goodbye to fabric is so difficult for some of us. Polly Esther wrote: Maybe the only solution is to box them up and ship to Roberta.

Instead of cutting the panty hose into strips, cut the legs off. Scrunch
each leg up from top to toe as if you were going to put it on your leg and put it in the biscuit. Close up the opening in the biscuit. You may want to put a "tie" in the center to keep the stocking in place. I've never done this, but one of my sisters started a quilt like this about 40 years ago; I don't think she ever finished it Julia in MN Bobbie Sews More wrote: Polly, so you have the problem of the innards of the biscuits bunching up after washing?
