    Default Pre-cut hexagon batting?

    Is there a place that sells batting pre-cut for hexagons? Just wondered.

    You mean batting cut into hexagon shapes? I've never seen any. What are you trying to do with it? You've got me quite curious.
    I wonder if using a system like Accuquilt or Sizzix would work on batting....

    well, I intended to be lazy. I was thinking of making some more hexagons, individually and then putting them together. I made a whole quilt that way. hex fabric and batting laid onto larger backing piece and the edges folded over and over again and stitched. easy t.v. room work. I guess when I'm ready, I will have to cut some batting up.

    i haven't seen it. i use 3/4 and 1 inch sizes. for the bigger ones, i guess you're better off cutting them. good luck. your quilt is beautiful!

    while i was making mine with florals and greens on the backs, a friend in England was making hers with black backs. Looked so much more pretty than mine so i will use black next time. and maybe larger hexagons too.
