My mother-in-law recently passed away and we brought home some of her mattress pads....why, I have no idea. LOL I was wondering if they would work for batting as they seemed nice and could be useful.
I have found several old blankets at thrift stores, I thought would be good for batting, but haven't used them yet.
Thanks for this discussion.
I have used mattress pads in my kids quilts and they stand up will. They are very nice and warm.
Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't sure how they would work. I figured at the least, I could use them in coasters, wall hangings or doll quilts. They are older cotton ones, not polyester, so it seems a shame to throw away good cotton.
Thanks again.
