How to Piece Batting Together
A quilter in a discussion group asked what to do with leftover pieces of batting. It would seem that quilters are, by nature, wanting to salvage every little scrap -- fabric, batting, maybe even thread. Batting comes in many sizes to accommodate different sizes of quilts and beds. It seems, though, that there's always some left over. Maybe it's a strip along one side, maybe you've cut a hunk out of the center of a twin size quilt to make a baby quilt, and there's a bunch left over. Not to worry, there is a way to piece the batting together so you can use it in a quilt. Once I discovered how to piece batting, I do it all the time. I always buy the largest batting (usually queen or king size), and just plan to cut and piece it. Because these step-by-step instructions come with pictures, they are posted on the site at:
