I made the three changes, can you find them? I forgot to take a photo of the finished top so here is one after the layering and pinning was done.<\/p>\n

I have never used wool batting before but I have read that it is wonderful at not holding creases and that it has nice loft to show off the quilting, so I bought some Matilda’s Own. When I opened it it was terribly creased and since it didn’t seem to relax out I decided to wet it and spin it out in the washer. It recommended drying flat so I laid it out and darn! all of the creases were still there!! I put it in the dryer on low and let it tumble dry. Creases were still there.<\/p>\n

I went ahead and layered and pin basted and the creases are not noticeable
\nnow; I think it will be fine but not sure if it will be better than cotton in the long run.<\/p>\n

I got a start on the quilting, just the outline of the whole elk, but then life got in the way and I had to set it aside. Hopefully today will be more productive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
