Batting revisited

Since I can't needlepoint until I pick up a new canvas (there may be a field trip tomorrow to Knit Cafe on Dundas West and perhaps a visit at the Koffler Gallery on Bloor at Shaw), I am thinking about quilting some of my scrappy quilts, I will need batting.   Fabricland is having a sale - I have to go there to see if their prices are worth it.  I have to compare by the yard and packaged batting as opposed to something I saw at Kawartha Quilting - a roll of 96" wide by 30 yards for $218.99.  It may be worth the drive to Kawartha or shipping fees.  Or not, I have to check.

But before I do, I have leftover batting pieces.  I have learned not to mix the batting types, so I have three different types.  Not sure of names but I stored them separately in three groups.




 From the 1st and 2nd photos, I have less than the 3rd.  So I'm starting with it.

I roughly laid out the pieces on a double bed to get an idea if I have enough for one of the larger quilts.  I do.


 I have to trim them so they will sew together smoothly.  And I have more of these strips so I'll have to see how much there is after I join these together.

So if I can get my act together, I will sew batting and/or visit Fabricland.
