Conchalea..I have resued batting. The previous quilt was a tied quilt so easy to snip the ties. This was a polyester batting, too. Actually it works pretty good in a denim quilt as it's light without adding too much weight to the quilt. Also sandwiching it in a minky backed quilt works well for the same reason.
Doug vH...what a haul; nothing wrong with keeping usable items out of the landfills! I see you are a "newbie'...welcome to the board.
