Great idea, thanks for sharing, will work on that. I also use some of my scraps to cover my SWIFTER floor duster, instead of buying refill boxes. Works great for me and saves money to purchase more fabric.

I actually use my scrap batting to make little 'quilt sandwiches' for practicing fm quilting, and to make sure my tension is correct before starting a quilt. You can also keep the little practice pieces to use as coasters.
Practice, practice, practice makes perfect, AND it's a lot of fun!

To prevent a bump where the pieces are sewn together, lay the two pieces of batting overlaped on the edges. Cut through all layers and then the edges of both pieces will match. Just butt them together to zigzag the seam.

I also had a ton of batting.My Mom told me about a product she found.Its sold on Connectingthreads.com.Its called "Heat press batting"I just love it.Its really easy to use and quilting is as if your batting is all one piece.Its on sale now for $6.39.

they work really well. I am not in the prossess of doing that with my scrap pile. Some ugly squares but maybe when they are together it will look ok for a donations quilt. Perhapes if I finish them off in black they will came together.

Has anyone else done this? How did the pieced battings work?
