good for you,.... using 'recyled' products somewhat. i have done that before. it is called being thrifty. and i have decided the next one i make for 'my house' is not going to have a bating, but is going to have a 'used, quality' sheet for the batting. still 3 layers, but lighter for summer. sometimes in the south, i understand, no batting is used at all. correct? any girls from the south?
