GladGrams from another greatgram, I love the poem you have post about your quilt gifts, such great feelings.

I sew my pieces together with a large zig zag stitch as well. Make sure you use light thread when you do so, dark will sometimes show through if using lighter fabric. I also read that there is a tape that you can buy especially made for piecing batting together. You just simple iron it on. Never used it so not sure how good it works.

I have used light weight fusible interfacing cut in 1.5 inch strips to join batting into larger pieces. Works great and is a lot cheaper than the tape. Just butt the edges together and iron the strips over the area you are joining.

I'll tell you - I sew my batting together and use it on smaller lap quilts. The smallest pieces make really great frying pan handle covers. Like a hot pad holder but only about 2" side and 4" long that slides over the skillets handle. I also use those for tucking in cords. Like a cord pocket for my small appliances (keeps everything tidy).

You received lots of info about left-overs. I make quilted tote bags and small wall hangings, caserole carriers, tree skirts,eye glass cases and table toppers from my scrap batting and scrap fabric. It is also a good way to use old sample blocks and ufo's. Use it all up! left over batting can also be used to make small size, quick two- fabric pillowcased quilts to donate to childrens hospitals or shelters. Kids certainly don't mind if batting is pieced together. Lots to choose from!
