It's rarely the right size - I tend to buy twin size & cut it down. The left overs I use for bags, pot holders, mug rugs etc. I am sure that eventually I will try piecing but it does make me a little nervous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-44915185312313092222010-12-22T17:04:01.586-08:002010-12-22T17:04:01.586-08:00I want to second and third what Quiltfool and Lee ...I want to second and third what Quiltfool and Lee have both said. Just make sure that you get yourself on JoAnn's email list. I rarely run out of batting around here because of all of the 40% and 50% off coupons I get. I usually get the same stuff (Warm and Natural) online.Hectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215389449153674399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-84440250104999629422010-12-22T08:53:55.571-08:002010-12-22T08:53:55.571-08:00Did you know that you can also buy batting by the ...Did you know that you can also buy batting by the yard? They have huge bolts of Warm and Natural at my Joanne's. The width is like 80" or 100" or something ridiculously wide like that (I forget what exactly), so a couple of yards usually covers even the largest quilts. So unless I happen to be making a quilt that's the exact size of one of the pre-packaged batting sizes, I buy it by the yard (less expensive and less waste).<br /><br />The fabric for your daughter's quilt is beautiful.

I thought I'd use it in a year trying to finish all my WIPs, but I didn't. I still have a bunch left. But, I do seam scraps together. I lay them on the floor and sew them together and then cut to size. As much as it costs, no need to waste a bit. Pieces too small I use in practice muslins for FMQ. Good luck at the shop.

I have bought off the bolt and I've bought pre-packaged batting, too. Not sure which I like better, though. Like you, I definitely don't have room to store a whole bolt of batting! I've got a big Tupperware container full of my batting, both the unused batting and the scraps left from what I have used.Elizabeth Dacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08411845598348993307noreply@blogger.com
