You all keep me motivated. Yesterday, I got out my plastic bin of leftover batting scraps and pieced a batting large enough to use for a baby quilt. I think I have enough for the 2nd baby quilt I pieced yesterday too! RRyder, I kept the larger pieces of batting in 2 places....one on a roll that batting comes on and one in one of those large rubbermaid bins with a label (batting scraps) on it. I think I will use your idea and try to keep it in one place. Pieces of batting that are at least 5" X 5", I cut into those squares and give to our Quilts of Valor group to use for fundraiser coasters.
Larger pieces, I save and then use to piece batting for a quilt. Anything smaller, I cut up and use as stuffing (along with the other fabric scraps) for dog beds. But, it's a constant revolving door and you've got to keep up with it all as you finish quilts. Whooh! I'm tired just thinking about it! But, it gets everything used up and "out the door". I have a goal of a bag of something going out the door each week. This week, in addition to the garbage, it was a large bag of shred for recycling. I do have another bag for Goodwill, but not ready to take it yet...there might be more! Everyone have a great weekend and keep on organizing!
