I can’t wait to see these in person and hear about what you are thinking.

what’s in these top two quilt samples?

photo 7 - what is that, spackle or hummus?

The top quilt is filled with plastic in the center and lentils in the outside pockets. The second one is kozo paper filled with cotton batting.

And photo 7 is wood putty that I mixed with a little water. Now that I look at it, it does really look like hummus.

oooh, wood putty. That’s neat. What cool materials you’re using!
Your alternative fillings/materials really make me want to pick up the quilts. I bet they would be great learning tools for kids exploring touch/weight/texture….
