The shelter loved them.
if I can input here, try not to accept batting that has adhesive spray on it (or just toss it if you get any). the spray could have a negative effect on the animals. not saying it will but I just don't use it. I also don't use any fusible scraps. I figure we make enough scraps, we can afford to toss some of the not so desirable ones LOL

I love your idea of the 3 sections. I'll have to try that!! thanks!
