lildinks, I agree, use it up! It is predicted to have temps of minus 22 and wind chills could be minus 50 this week. NE ohio has not seen those temps in over 40 years. I am sewing up a few fleece blankets and insisting my kiddos sleep upstairs next week. putting down puppy pads and newspaper for the dogs-not making them go outside at those temps. all are under 30 lbs. 2 are 7lb yorkies. brought the 2 outside cats into the garage with straw enclosed beds, litter box etc. I agree the wool batting is warm if you can afford it. And the add fleece and flannel are great ideas. Now to get sewing before the power goes out. stay warm folks!
