I have 3 large garbage bags of recycled batting I am using for this batch of tops. When Sophie and I were at the quilt show this last fall, I asked the APQS vendors if I could have all the practice batting when the show was over. Sure, just be here when we start breaking down the booth. So we walked out with all the stitched batting. It's worked fine so far. It's polyester batting sandwiched between muslin and batik. And now it's further sandwiched between Barbara's tops and some thrift store backings. One happy day I bought another woman's fabric stash at the thrift store--2 huge boxes. Like the batting, I decided it was time for that to find another home. While I am hoping to buy some new fabric this year, it's still a year of working the stash down to a more manageable size. Well, whatever that means. So, 2 more quilts for the kiddos coming right up!
Have a Creative Day, Y'All!
Good for your for finishing these donation quilts. You're doing a service taking spare tops out of my closet and getting them to folks who need a warm hug.
