Have you ever done this?
Have you ever cut down a quilt to fit a piece of batting? I was getting ready to sandwich a wall hanging this morning and it was a liiitttllle too big for the piece of batting it had dug out of my batting pile. I get So tired of sewing batting together because I have all these random pieces left over from other projects. I just decided that it would look fine with smaller borders, cut an inch off around the whole thing, and viola! Am I the only one that has ever done this? I'll admit, I was thinking of all the quilting artists that would be appalled at what I had done.

have done it! No biggy to me. But usually nothing to compromise the blocks. I try to add at least 8 inches of batting more than the top. 4 inches extra to each side and each top and bottom of top.
