I'm really happy that I've just finished the 90x90 top for my Mum and Dad's quilt, and have bought the backing yesterday.

I now have the dilema of what to do for the batting. Do I use the several 20/30inch x 90 strips that I have left over from other quilts and sew them together, or should I wait, (I must now save up again) and buy a whole square for their quilt with no joins?

What would you do? I feel like I should buy a whole, but want to get on with it and feel rather guilty by thinking I could use up the strips. Is it frugal, true patchwork quilting or me being cheap in thinking about this?

It's took a while to get to this stage as my Mum was a bit of a pest when it come to picking fabric :wink: :D so I don't want to spoil it.

Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
