    I've been piecing my smaller batting pieces for a year or more now and using them in the smaller lap quilts. Once the quilting is done, there's no way these pieces will be known. I butt the edges together and stitch with a large zigzag, then cut to size.....I can't stand to throw bigger pieces away......much too much waste and now that cotton is so expensive, I'm glad I know how to conserve......it does make me feel good....

    I do that too and did a bunch yesterday. I hate to throw batting away and it saves money too!

    I do that too. It saves money and decreases waste. I love it.
