I piece batting all the time but I'll have to try the interfacing. Do you use this method just for quilts that are decorative or for all of them.

When you have an available 40% off coupon, you can get yards of this for about $.60 per yard. Great stuff to have around.

I also use the light weight fusable interfacing as a stabilizer for t-shirt quilts - iron a piece bigger than what your final square will be, then trim shirt and fusable to the correct size.
