Because the center of the quilt is heavier due to the foundation fabric and the borders are regular fabric the top did not quilt as smoothly as I would like. Also the center blocks being on point added extra fullness to the quilting process. Next time I have a quilt like this to do, I’ll use a polyester batting to fill in some of the fullness and fluff it up! Lessons learned! This quilt is very heavy and will keep someone very warm!
