I do this fall all quilts that are less than 84" because I have 90" batting rolls and try not cut new if I have pieces that I can put together.

I also zigzag mine together, did it about a month ago and had enough for 7 full size quilts and 3 baby quilts...won't let it pile up that much again, but have already quilted 5 tops with those "leftovers" and it has worked just wonderful!!!!

i butt the pieces together & use a wide zigzag to join warm & natural- works great for me- been doing it that way for years- i hear the (batting tape) is a nice product- i just can't justify spending the money on it when i can just sit down & sew the pieces together faster.

I just zig zag it, too. I can actually do that quicker than setting the iron up and heating, etc. My current project got rid of my extras of warm & natural Now i can continue to buy Quilters Dream Cotton.

I believe that the zig zag will work just fine. As someone else said, the quilting will help hold it together. I have a lot of pieces too. Maybe I can make that a project for tomorrow.
