Photo Quilt. Picture Quilts. Custom Quilt. Personalized Quilt
In a previous post on how to choose the right batting, I took you on an inspirational journey through the many batting options (I don’t know about you, but I had the time of my life. *Cue music.*) We talked about cotton.
We talked about poly blends. Wool made an appearance. Bamboo was mentioned, too, but I don’t think it got enough attention. So now that the ground and my hands have finally thawed, I’m bringing bamboo batting back into the spotlight.
Bamboo quilt batting is… ok, it’s amazing. Not only is it lightweight, thin and strong (basically the athlete I’ve always wanted to be), it doesn’t mildew or collect mold, either. After washing, bamboo batting dries more quickly than other batting options.
The 13 Best Quilts Of 2023, Tested By Us
One question I get asked a lot in the Suzy Quilts Patterns Facebook group is about quilt drape. Some quilters complain that their quilts feel stiff after they’ve been quilted. Who wants to canoodle underneath a stiff quilt? Well bamboo batting is here to save your love life! Without even a single wash to fluff and crinkle it up, bamboo batting quilts have a silky smooth drape.
Make it a bit more expensive. But if you’re working on a quilt that you want to keep around for a long time, it’s worth the investment.
All bamboo batting possesses these amazing traits, but the brand of batting you choose has a pretty big effect on the overall quality and longevity of your finished quilt. I have a couple of go-to brands that I come back to time after time (ooh! Cue music again!) when looking for quilt batting:
Patriotic Quilt Patterns To Sew For The 4th Of July.
Since we’re talking about summer, and since we’ve established that no matter how warm it gets outside, you can still probably find me sewing away, let’s talk about a great summer project: quilting with lawn.
As a fabric, lawn is semi-transparent, making it cool, soft and comfortable, even in warmer weather. The smooth silkiness of lawn makes an amazing pair when it gets together with breathable, silky bamboo batting. Just thinking about it gives me a breezy, comfy feeling!
A perfect pattern for this unstoppable duo would be the Maypole quilt pattern. It’s great for beginners, and it works well with the smooth silkiness of lawn! Every time the weather gets a bit warmer I turn to this quilt pattern. There's something about it that screams, Toss me on the grass and have an ice cream party!
Nantucket Summer Happy Stripes Quilt
If sewing with lawn, just don’t forget to prewash and starch. You canread more about sewing with lawn in this blog post.)
Don’t leave your sewing room behind this summer! Pick up some bamboo batting and start telling everyone about your new summer sport… which is the same as your winter sport (because come on, is there anything better than sewing? I’m open to suggestions but I’m going to be a hard sell!)

You can learn more about that here.I heard it again last night, clearly announcing his presence among the oak leaves where squirrels were snacking on green pears out of my nearby Bartlett pear fruit tree. It usually crosses my mind to try to spot the owl in fall, when the leaves are off trees and the owl may be easier to spot.
The sounds reminded me of this Owl in Maze Handmade Quilt featured at the 2017 Piece and Plenty Quilt Guild Show in Rolla, Mo.
The custom, patchwork handmade quilt features one owl smack dab in the quilt middle surrounded by what I assumed were modern versions of leaves.

Interesting how one’s perspective on the owl changes from looking at it from a distance compared to a handmade quilt close up. From a distance the owl seems settled in his perch; close up he looks a little less sure of himself. Or is that just me.
The other interesting element in this custom handmade quilt were the trapezoid leaf shapes. Not only do the form an interesting border throughout the handmade quilt center but I wondered how hard they were to add.
It’s no surprise that we carry a number of flower-themed quilts but flowers are not a common theme
