I have a home dec business and have 12 large totes of leftover fabric. I have made quilts from them. It can be done but there are rules to follow. 1. Prewash and throw in dryer. If it survives the process i use it. 2. Make your design simple. Don't do anything complicated with sharp points. 3. make your seams 1/2" 4. normally if I use batting it is the thinest I can get. Most impoirtant of all I consider these experiments and just have fun making them.
