That quilt has been washed at least 4 times and you can not tell that the batting was pieced.

It's good to know that other quilters save batting by sewing it or taping it together, I thought I was really being a tight wad...I haven't tried the tape, but zig zagging it has always worked for me...

This is what I've done for about the last year.
It works great! :thumbup:
I think I had bought about 2 yards last year, and cut them into 1" strips, put them all in a ziplock bag. They are ready when I need them.

I use Iron on Interfacing cut in 2 inch runs. Over lap the pieces length wise one inch. then flip your batting and do the other side. I make sure my seams or over laps are not in the same spot as the other side. I have used it for at least 3 years or more

I lay one piece of the batting on top of the other, cut through both with rotory blade (this makes the cut the same on both pieces) then butt them together and zig zag them together.. works perfectly.. :)
