Then, I've been using two layers of TShirt material for the "batting" because the shelter discourages actual batting due to the mess if a "chewer" gets a hold of it. I was thinking of using leftover fleece as the "batting" for my next one. These are fun, quick, easy ways to use up scraps and help our furry friends. If interested, you can contact your local animal shelter to see if they allow fleece as the batting.
Fleece as batting for quilts going to animal shelters is great! Remember that if you use it for the backing it's going to be covered in hair in no time. Probably not a good idea to do that.
