But not to any particular quilt. I have been making a few tops. I need to sell them to buy batting to make others, but if I don't sell them I can not buy more batting, so the pile of tops gets higher and the pile of completed, going no where, and It may take a few more weeks before I can start my new job. Of course, Now that I can piece I feel like quilting, and when I have batting I feel like piecing.

Going insane right now.

rofl!

Well, you could sell a few tops alone to get your batting...that may get some momentum behind you!

Aw, hugs! I do know the feeling.....like Rebecca siad, maybe you could post a few at the classified and sell them, and get yourself a few battings!
Heres what I've been doing...a change jar. Every extra cent I find, goes in there, and if I DONT need it for an emergency, (THAT happens too often), I can get a little something when its full!
GOOD LUCK!

How frustrating. I know just how you feel.

i have a stack of tops + batting on hold 'til i buy backing fabric.

it's a never-ending cycle.

welcome to the club. :lol:

Maybe your Mother-in-law would like some suggestions for your birthday or Christmas present from her. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

She has never acknowledge my birthday, and she says that Christmas is only for the kids, even though she always expects something. For the last few years we got her nothing and she wasn't very happy. Besides, even if I explained to her what I need, she wouldn't understand. Now..if it was gossip, that she DOES understand.

I'd like to know just where you met my MIL.

LOL!! Somewhere between NY and AL, even though mine never goes anywhere.

Keep making the tops. Someday you'll find the money for batting, then you can get them all put together. It's a bugger to be broke.

Try listing one of the tops on Ebay...nothing too fancy...but it might bring you enough to get a bit of batting...

I would first look and see what they are getting for the tops.

hey why not put some pics on this site - maybe some people on here would buy a few. I might.

How about offering to quilt - for money or for trade in batting? Depending on the size(s) you need and the kind you like, you could get some batting, get some of yours done, sell them...

post some pictures in the sale ad here and try to sell your tops
