Then take your next piece of batting and butt it up to the edge of the previous piece. Secure the 2 pieces of batting by zig zag ing or using the fusible tape made for this purpose. Sandwich this section and quilt, making sure that you quilt over the 1" section that you skipped on the middle piece. then repeat for the other side.
Thank you! This does seem like it would make it much more manageable. I've never tried anything like this before, but you make it sound very easy. I appreciate the idea.
