The pieces of batting, I also use them to make picture quilts. I use a pillow form fabric and I sew around the pictures, like the fisherman in the boat and I use the small pieces of batting to pad the pictures. when I finsh with the pillow form, it is usually about 18 inches that is the center of my quilt and I make the quilt like a picture adding fabic as i go until I get the size I want.
