Aunt Ann's Puff Quilt

 One of the quilts we showed at the Bluffs Quiltfest Show last weekend was my Aunt Ann's Puff Quilt. It belongs to my mom now, so she entered it in the show. It is made out of old clothes and most of it is double knit. It is interesting to look at all the fabrics...my mom remembered giving her some of them. She machine sewed each individual pillow, flipped it right sides out, stuffed it and then hand sewed them together.
The squares are 3 1/2" finished....it's twin size.

I was fascinated with Puff Quilts when I first started quilting and really wanted to make one. I checked several different ways to make them, as I didn't think I would get one hand sewn. I still haven't made one...yet. If you have made one, please share what method you used.
I took it back to my mom when I went to Earling on Friday even though it really wanted to stay at my house.
