I buy queen size batting and usually end up making two 48 x 72 quilts with them. So far the extra has become placemats, small hanging projects and I am beginning to make casserole carrying cases. It seems like I am constantly carrying hot 9 x 13 x 2 dishes in the car. So I am playing with making a cover that goes up and over the casserole to contain spills. There is a really cute pattern out there that uses wooden spoons as handles.
