When I drove through the farm country near Bakersfield a few years ago, I passed a cotton field that had been picked clean except for some plants that had grown into a ditch, so I stopped and picked a few balls, and smoothed one out flat and incorporated it into a quilt as just a tiny way to remember the quilters in the past who had to use cotton this way, seeds and all, as batting. Wonder what they'd think about all the batting choices we have today?
