Greetings Quilter Barbara,

Have you ever thought about using something other than
traditional batting - the cotton, polyester, wool, or
silk you can buy at your local quilt shop?

Using something different seems to go with the whole
quilting-thinking (using scraps, bits and good left-overs).

Some quilters have gotten quite creative!

Here are some ideas of other fabrics you can use in place
of batting in your quilt.
Thin cotton blanket
Bath towel
Good parts of an old mattress pad
Osnaburg cloth (frequently used in doll making)
Cotton flannel sheet

Happy Quilting!
