    Default Batting made from recycled plastic bottles

    Has anyone used this produced?
    http://www.quiltersdreambatting.com/...reen-flyer.jpg

    I'm into recycling. I used vintage sewing machines to make all my quilts.
    In researching fabrics and batting, I found this product.
    Wondering if any others know about it, and if so, have used it.

    Once I use up all my batting in my scrap quilting projects, I will be looking into purchasing this item.

    I'm like you; I'm into recycling. I've used Dream Green on a couple of quilts & like it a lot. It quilts easily & drapes well. The only problem I've found is that a shadow of the green shows through when I use white or very light colored fabrics in the top.

    One of my friends used that batting in a gorgeous snowball/9 patch quilt. She made it for herself and ended up giving it away. She is approaching that "warmer" stage of life and said she about cooked under that quilt. LOL She said it quilted beautifully but it was just too hot for her to sleep under.

    Haven't heard of it but I know they can make fabric from soda bottles some how.

    I'm glad you asked this; I've been very curious about that batting, but haven't made the plunge to buy it.

    i bought a full roll several yrs ago, used it up for 'gift quilts'. and it seemed to work fine. i was trying different batting to see how they worked at the time. still do that. just got into my last full box of 'warm and natural', cut it today. soon, i'll probably buy another roll of some different kind to have on hand for less expensive quilts i throw together.
