That's really interesting. I'd never read or heard of stuffing them like this but I do know that true traditional quilter will never let anything go to waste and will fine a way to incorporate it into their quilts. With the cost of quilting supplies today, I can see where many may just start doing some of these things because it's getting quite expensive to buy new to quilt. I'm partial to patchwork anyway so using scraps and old clothing would suit me just fine or finding clothing at rummage, garage sales or thrift shops. Thank you for sharing this with us.
