That was my initial thought when I read the post.

One thought you might consider is buying your batting (or wadding) from a place like Joann's, where it is sold off the bolt. It is much cheaper (especially during sales or with a coupon) and it is also much wider than the average batting from a package. I do this when I have a quilt that needs batting bigger than what I get in the package. I also buy it this way from a gal in our local guild who has an upholstery business. She is able to buy it really inexpensively and it's pretty wide, something like 130", which has covered every quilt I have except one, and I probably won't get around to quilting that for at least another year or five. :lol:
