Another thing I'm doing, being new to bolt of batting ownership -- I'm writing on the cardboard roll a brief notation of the quilt, the length cut, and the date -- I think it will be interesting documentation to help me evaluate and justify buying bolts. I've never minded having excess to use up in potholders, bags, and assorted other small projects, but it will be nice to have less waste -- and all the scraps will be the same weight and texture, so that's a plus too.
