Recycling batting
#1
Hi,
Recently I bought a new manufactured quilt, (I'm new to quilting & haven't started making my first one yet). It's way too heavy & I'd hate to throw it away. I'd like to learn hand quilting & wondered if I could salvage the batting to use as I am on a very tight budget? This would be to make lap quilts to use in winter for myself & husband. If it's not suitable for this how about art quilts for me to hang on the wall? I hate waste & a quilt is a huge thing to go to land fill.
Thanks in advance .

Hi all,
thanks for your replies. It's more of a duvet than a quilt & the batting was breaking up when I undid it so I'll use that for toy stuffing. I saved a part & made a little cushion for under my pillow as it was going flat at night. I still have plenty to make a little bed cover for my cats too. The material cover was very papery so not much use.
