I was able to cut the 90 squares of batting that I needed for this quilt from basically leftover batting! Thought I would pass on the idea to my fellow quilters.
Another thing that I do, to the amusement of others, is that I use a faggoting stitch on my machine to butt the bits together. I have often enough for another full quilt. Friends are even giving me their scraps to add to my pile - which makes it very thrifty for me.
