My first double batt quilt

I tried a double batt on this quilt, and I do love the way it shows off the quilting.  And if the saying, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" is true, then Jenny should be flattered because I copied her grid work quilting.  Love it.  I think it worked perfectly for this little quilt.

My thoughts on a double batt.   Well there is no denying how well it shows off the quilting, so it gets points there.  From what I heard at Road 2 CA, it is the new normal for a show quilt.  I think I still favor the softer thinner quilts with more drape to them, but a double batt does have it's place in some of my future quilts.  I have not washed this quilt to know how it will feel after it has been washed.  I did find it a little harder to quilt, it is just so puffy, but that is no reason I wouldn't do it again.

And, a little shot of what I am working on now (with a double batt, go figure).  I have almost caught up with being gone for a week, and am trying to put some of what I learned into my new quilts.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate your company and comments.
