Quilter's Dream Green Recycled Soda Bottle Batting
#1
I'm always interested in being more eco friendly and just read an article about this new batting made entirely out of soda bottles. I wondered if anyone has tried it and what they thought. I can't find it in any local shops yet or I'd by a craft size roll to check it out. I don't want to spend the money to order it online if it's not worth it. Any thoughts?

I saw it yesterday at my LQS. They had some baby quilts and runners hung up , that they used it in. It was very soft and they said it worked nice. throw size batting -60 x 60 was $11. and a twin size was $16. I am working on charity quilts right now, but am planning on getting one when I finish a quilt for my daughter. Elaine

I don't know about bearding, but what is sold here and in the UK is a delicate shade of green. I'm not sure whether that is deliberate to indicate the 'greenness, as in recycled' of the product, after all, there are lots of pop/water bottles that are clear, aren't there?

I use it in almost every project I make. I tried the bamboo and as much as I like it, I can not afford it. I just paid $22.00 for a queen size of recycled bottles. I wirks exactly like cotton batting. It has low loft and is very flexible. It doesn't smell, like the wool batting can smell on a humid day and it doesn't shift when you wash it. To me is the ideal media to use.
