It has so far been one of my longest projects (much to Jim's despair), as it took me a while to decide which colours to go for, collect the fabric, cut it into squares, pin them together etc etc, but now it has taken on a patchwork sheet-resemblance and this weekend I was down the final decision...
POLYESTER WADDING OR ECO-FRIENDLY BAMBOO WADDING?
I spent about half an hour in Fabrics Galore below on Wandsworth Road - one of my favourite places to spend a Saturday morning, or afternoon, or whole day in fact! - trying to decide between the two waddings, and it was pretty much one of the hardest decisions ever. In my heart I wanted to go for the bamboo as it is much more environmentally friendly, however, it was about five times the price of the polyester. I was also told that the polyester is completely washable, and that made up my mind. Fickle I know, but polyester wadding it is.
I have the wadding rolled up at home and some time this week it will convert the patchwork sheet I have constructed into a fully fledged, squdgy quilt, with a squiggly pattern sewn on and all.
Wish me luck!
