Bosal Katahdin batting strips are what I use. $12.09 a roll at the LQS. I bought a lot of the Jelly Rolls from Tuesday Morning store to make the rugs. I put one roll of batting strips and one jelly roll in my retreat bag. I have a go to project for retreat handy. Poly batting will make the rug curl. You want cotton batting strips.
I can't believe this pattern is being considered new. This rug from fabric strips using batting has been around for decades. My grandmother use to make them exactly the way this new pattern instructs. She used a pattern from the Workshop Basket magazine she use to get. In fact the fabric batting strips are how I make tote straps before this pattern ever came out.
