Fabric Recommendations & Notions:

Starfish: quilting cotton, flannel, fleece, minky, velour, or any medium to heavy weight fabric

If using iron-on vinyl details you may choose to use quilting cotton on the front and back with a softer fabric like fleece or minky.

Quilted Seashell: 

Front- quilting cotton, flannel, fleece, minky, velour, or any medium to heavy weight fabric. If you choose to use a heavy fabric like fleece on the front, you may omit the batting.

Batting- the higher loft batting, the more defined the quilting lines will be. 

Scrap layer will not be visible. Use quilting cotton or flannel.

Back- quilting cotton, flannel, fleece, minky, velour, or any medium to heavy weight fabric. You may choose to use quilting cotton on the front and back with a softer fabric like fleece or minky.

Pleated Seashell:

Quilting cotton, flannel, or any medium to heavy weight fabric. You can choose to use a soft fabric such as fleece or minky for the back. 

For the pleated seashell thick fabrics like fleece may not work well for pintucks in smaller sizes.

Sand Dollar:

Front Outer Layer- Choose a fabric that can be easily cut like quilting cotton or a thin fleece. Consider possible fraying edges when making the cutouts.

Inner Layer & Back- Quilting cotton, flannel, or any medium to heavy weight fabric

Softies/Pillows- Polyfill to stuff them. Could also use flax seeds or rice to make a hot/cold pack.

Play Mat- Batting bigger than the shapes
