Batting made from recycled soda bottles
#1
Has anyone used the batting made from recycled soda bottles? Did you like it? Was it easy to use? How did it wash after the quilt was done? It's about half the price of other batting and I'd like to try it but want to know what you think first.

havent used the batting but have used yarn that is made from recycled plastic was soft, washed without shrinkage, I'd do a burn test before using in quilt. maybe first try a small project and wash

its called dream green- i have used it- it is like using a piece of fleece for your batting (and is the same materials as used in polar fleece)
it washes up just fine- is easy to stitch through- has held up well in the kids picnic/fort quilts-
the only down side i had was....it's green- so couldn't use it when the backing was very light- without a green tint showing through.
