Told you it was crazy. Tutorials I've seen say something about quilting interface. Is that just really thin batting? Have you made one before?

Thanks

Gina,the only thing that comes to mind to me is if they are using interfacing as a backing for appliqued pieces. Can you post a link to some of the tutorials you have seen?

Editing to add this link to a site where Sharon Holland uses that technique to make orange peel like appliques.

Not being familiar with that pattern, I can't give you any suggestions. But, I do have something to say that I used to tell my students . . . if you don't know the answer, no question is stupid (or crazy)!!!

I always thought that the dumbest question was the unasked one. How else you get to be smart?

The only tutorial I could find was Connecting Threads under tutorial for tools..the circle magic ruler From Brandy's Tools. In the tute I think they were making a pillow sham or placemat.

Thanks

OK. I just watched the Connecting Threads tutorial. They are demoing a faux pickle Dish technique. They iron fusible interfacing to the wrong side of back layer fabric. They also sew an X across each block before they sew them together and call it is "quilt as you go". So I guess you could say the interfacing is used as batting since it ends up between the layers.

Circle Magic Tutorial

I have made the circle magic quilt. It was a long time ago but I am thinking I used flannel instead of batting. I call it the tortilla quilt because while cutting the blue and yellow circles they sort of looked like tortilla's.
