    I am making a wall hanging for my sewing room, size 36 x 36". I wondered what batting you used?

    Thanks for posting your beautiful attic windows quilt.
    Thanks, copycat. I used a thin but dense polyester batting-like material I found at a thrift store. I think it was made from soda bottles. Not sure what its original purpose was but it worked for me and it was inexpensive! I wouldn't use it in a quilt. It was kind of stiff, not as soft and thin as the Dream Green batting I've seen.

    Thanks for your reply Marcia.
    I think the stiffness of your batting worked well for you in this wall hanging to keep it from sagging at the corners. I will keep that point in mind for my wall hanging. Happy Quilting and may you continue to find great thrift store fabrics like your winter scene one.

    It is almost 90° and it made me feel a little bit cooler, it is a great little wall hanging. Thank you for the cool breeze.
