Tip from “The Quilt Show” e-mail:
Do you love the way a particular quilt batting worked in one of your quilts…but find yourself unable to remember which type of batting you used? Why not include this vital detail in your on-going quilt journal, or start a journal to record this and other important data about each quilt you make. A three-ring binder works well for keeping your quilt “documentation” organized and easily accessible.
Chances are you already are documenting some information about your quilts: your name, the name of your quilt, when it was made, for whom it was made, and so on. (If not, you should be!) At the same time, spend a moment or two to include details about the batting you used in the quilt. If possible, include the label from the batting package. If you just take this simple step, you ‘ll never again need to “un-sew” a small area of the binding to peek at the batting.
