Today I decided to pull out all of my batting scraps. Wow! What a mountain! I sorted it all out by types, and then pieced together (zig zagged) the scraps that were big enough to be worth saving. I didn't even make it through half of the pile, but now have several made into small quilt size(like donation quilts), AND LABELED.
Has anyone else done this? How did the pieced battings work? |
Congratulations, and you got some projects made from your scraps, have fun sewing and quilting
|
What a great idea! Now you are all ready to go :D:D:D
|
they work well for wall hangings /??for big bed quilts with a lot of weight any one else made a big one
|
I save my scraps and sew them together for wall hangings and tabletops.
|
I save the little pieces for small projects &/or pull apart to use as stuffing in pillows.
|
I use my scraps for small lap size quilts and haven't had a problem with any of them! I don't like throwing away something that I can use for something else later on.

does that not make it uneven in the area where you join them? I've never tried - just wondering? :thumbup:
