I finally did it! I made a quilt using Cuddle Fabric and didn't hate the process. Now that is a big win from the start!
I typically am the kind of quilter who takes the path of least resistance. I like quick, easy, pain free projects. I don't get any thrill out of trying something new or hard, it's just not how I function. But I have been curious for a long time about how to back a quilt with Cuddle Fabric. So I thought I'd give it a go and I took a bunch of pictures along the way to show you how I did it.
The general idea is to make one GIANT pillow essentially and tack the quilt throughout to keep it together and keep it from shifting. I did NOT want to actually quilt this project because Cuddle Fabric is a knit and the shifting that would happen would probably make me throw my machine out of the window. I also didn't want to tie or hand quilt the quilt. I wanted a quick and fast way to secure the quilt top and cuddle backing together.
