Was wondering if you could use Felt in the middle? Sometimes that is on sale really cheap at Joann's Fabrics and it's very wide so one yard would go a long long way?????? Just thinking of things to use. I have never made any, but was thinking of making some nice ones for my daughter. :-) Rachel
I prefer felt for placemats, table runners, signature wallhangings, and rugs (use it for the backing and batting). I even put some in the 10 minute table runner, so that the runner has some body. It's flatter and firmer than batting, 72" wide, comes in a variety of colors (if you use it for a rug backing), made from recycled bottles (environmental friendly, no shrinkage problems), quilts beautifully, washes and dries nicely, too. Oh, yeah, and it's cheap w/50% off coupon from JAF.
