Cotton fabrics. Machine-quilted, finished with facings.
Technical challenges: This project began as a blatant copy of something I saw on Pinterest, but once all the individual blocks were assembled they wanted to be something very different. Hand-quilted the layers together with embroidery floss, a technique I've used on several other quilts, but for some reason on this quilt the batting came through onto both the front and the back and this was very unsightly. Ironing did not calm things down. Picked out every stitch and machine-quilted instead.
