No, I actually don't wash it before slicing up the blocks and quilting. I've posted a new article on using this fabric for the quilt along right here: http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/2014/01/building-blocks-cheater-cloth-quilt.htmlLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-45012627663179947392014-01-18T13:03:37.153-05:002014-01-18T13:03:37.153-05:00I know Leah advises washing material before making...I know Leah advises washing material before making quilts.

It has a thin layer of fusible web on one side which I fused to the backing. It made the block slightly stiffer, but it should still shrink like regular cotton.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-21299613640379775282014-01-16T22:14:11.148-05:002014-01-16T22:14:11.148-05:00What was the new batting used?

You have given lots of good tips, thanks! Josh, if this is tour first time, good job, I commend you jumping on board the quilting train. ;-). I'm happy with my first attempt. I do want to say, I'm going to do this without turning my block, I want to be able to quilt large quilts.
