I spent 4 hours messing in my sewing room today! I had 2 full totes of scrap batting that was getting out of control! I tamed one tote. Pieced my scrap batting together and got enough batting for 8 charity baby quilts.
So how many tame their batting scraps or what do you do with them?
Yup, I do the same thing. And the little pieces I use for smaller projects.
If I don't have any small things planned, like pot holders, etc, I will piece them together too. If they are really small I save them for pillow stuffing.
I use it for baby quilt as well, but I also make placemate with the samll pieces. also good fillters for the fish tank to.
You can cut it up into much smaller pieces (with your rotary cutter) and use it for stuffing pillows, toys, etc.
Deedum, I also piece the smaller sections together for charity quilts or tablerunners. It's just another way for quilters to be resourceful!!! :)
I keep the quilts for The American Veterans Project churning with pieced, scrap batting!!!!
LOL>>> I"m not sure I'd know how to use a FULL piece of batting any more!!! LOL
I gathered all mine into one tote and will use the pieces to do all the placemats I am making for Christmas.
I used mine to make pincushions. I don't like to piece batting for quilts.
How do you piece the batting?
