Anyone who quilts knows that batting can sometimes be one of the most expensive parts of putting a quilt together. This summer I collected as much batting as I could from yard sales. Some of my stash has big pieces. Many pieces are small.
After doing some research online, I found that piecing together quilt batting isn't hard, it's just tedious and time consuming.
Here's my latest pieced quilt batting:
Yes, that is a piece of red felt. No, you will not see it in the final product. The batting is different thicknesses. I've done this before and the finished quilt always comes out nice.
I try to save money where I can, so the thread was also from a yard sale.
During the fall and winter, when there are no more yard sales to go to, I use up my supplies a little at a time. Then in the summer I restock.
I have fun doing this. A lot of this batting, would've gone to a landfill. Get out your scraps and get creative. I'll post a picture of the October donation quilt when it's all done :-)
