I had to chuckle, Joanne, because a couple of years ago, a friend of mine gave me a black trash bag FULL of scraps of batting big enough to piece together...which I did by butting the straight edges together and zigzagging them. I ended up with a piece large enough for the quilt I needed batting for! Now I just have to sandwich everything and get it quilted...which probably won't happen until after my daughter's wedding in September!
