As for those times when there isn't enough batting at the end of a quilt...the tape works great! I grab a slice of batting from my corner and fuse two together....not sure how I made it before the fusing tape...it was a nightmare. I bought a cordless steam iron and that has also made fusing the tape to the batting a real breeze.
I love organization, and I love organized people....I just wish I were one!

Something else to add to the bucket list. For now, I've been putting the leftovers of one piece of batting rolled up back into the bag and secure it with a rubber band. I use a wide tip marker to write what is left in the bag. Then I store it on the highest shelf in two closets. When the scraps get down to strips I throw them in a huge shopping/gift bag. I used to cut them up into 5 or 6 inch strips for 6-hour quilts, but now I don't cut until I have a need.
I've only pieced batting once. I love your method. Thanks.
