Queen is usually 90 x 108, so you'd have to piece this batting together to use it for that.
By are (a queen uses 9,720 square inches, this batting has 43,200 square inches) you could make 4 quilts and have some left over, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to piece it that way.
However, this costs $40, and you could get at least 3, so that would put you ahead dollar wise, but it might not be worth the effort of piecing the batting.

"It is 60" wide (which I think is a little narrow, most of my quilts are at least that wide) and 20 yards long. So if you wanted to make a 58" square quilt, you could make 12 and have a little extra."
That would mean you spent 180.00 for 12 $15 sale battings--Sounds like I deal to me...piecing is what quilters do :-)

(As for "piecing is what quilters do"- I rarely ever piece, and I'm definetly a quilter.)

the fact that it is 60" wide has taken it off of my list.......so how does it compare to w/n thin poly which is 90"wide? Figuring the width as well as the $$per length I wonder what the difference is.....not going to figure it out now, but I think w/n thin poly might be a better investment. I use the w/n poly and really like it both for quilts and wall warmers......

A friend gave me a bolt of it to use for the Hurricane Sandy quilts I have been making. I really like it. It feels kinda stiff , but when it is in the quilt, it feels like a much lighter (in weight) version of Warm and Natural. It is a little narrow for some of the quilts, but is very easy to zig zag pieces together. One thing I really like about it is that it is nice and straight along the edges versus packaged batting, which tends to be wavy and uneven. My longarm likes it, and that is what is important to me. Much cheaper than using W&N for charity quilts.

I bought a roll on sale. Since I make quilts no wider than 50inches, it seemed right for me. The batting is bait thinner but worked up fluffy when quilted. I liked it but would not pay $40 for it unless I was out of batting. Usually buy king size batts at michaels with a 40 percent off coupon but for me the 60 inch worked out fine.
