I buy batting by the roll from Linda's electirc quilting site, it's 30 yards 108" wide for $109.00 that includes shipping. I get 13 quilts from this plus the extra I cut off the sides I whip back together and have this for baby quilts. I figured it cost about $6.50 per quilt and I can't buy it from Hobby Lobby or Michaels with a coupon for that.

Another reason to buy from Connecting Threads is you get free shipping for any order of $50 or more even when the items are on sale. It doesn't take much to come up with a $50 order, but if you don't want to spend that much at one time see if a friend wants to order with you.

I order from Warm and Natural and there isn't any shortage of cotton batting there. The prices did go up a little and I think Michaels and Walmart aren't stocking it because of the increase in price. If Walmart won't get the price they want they just don't order the product.

Since I;m reading the cotton batting is getting so costly, I have been saving all my scraps from by completed quilts, but what can I really do with all these scraps? there are only so many table runners to make and placemats. Can I sew the batting together to se?
I need some suggestions?
