I plan on buying a roll of batting (poly--50 meters)..this takes a lot of space in my house. This is one reason I'm trying to make sure I have enough tops to be able to use up the roll so I don't have to find a place to stash the batting. Plus the cats...I've had one that liked using batting as a litter box. It taught me to never leave batting sitting around touching the floor.
I have plenty of spare fabric so backing isn't an issue. I use anything...curtains, bedding, sheets, fabric, etc. I don't mind if the back is a conglomeration of fabric, but I won't use a top I made as a back.
Gotta go sew...for a little while and then off to the school to look for some used school books for a lady who needs some (here in Poland all parents have to buy their own children's books for the next year).
