I've split lap-sized pieces of batting before. The side with the scrim peels off fairly easily but the other side tends to end up lumpy looking. But I don't notice it when it's actually in a quilt.

Love the quilt. The colors just glow!

I think your quilt is great. Love all the colors bright & cheery. Anyone would love to have it. If you do a lot of charity quilts you could use it up. Puffy quilts are well received. Lots of people like them.

I like the lofty (puffy) quilt look myself. Especially in baby quilts. I think yours looks great.
|
Children love the high loft quilts, they love the fluffy look. That said, I have made my last one. What a struggle to FMQ on a high loft, so, no more for me.

Gorgeous quilt and I'm sure the recipient will be very grateful. I've split batting but it wasn't a very large piece.
|
I use poly all the time. Cotton is beautiful to work with and seems to make quilting easy. I wish it were an option here....but your quilt is fine. You can continue to use it every once in a while for charity quilts since you already invested in it. The recipient will love it.
But it is hard to quilt a thicker batting. Much, much harder. A wider, more open design works much better. |
I like a fat fluffy quilt in the winter they seem warmer.

Try warm and white. It's polyester but thin and works well in quilts.
Use a coupon. I believe Joanns carries it. per Joann's description. |
