Hi! I'm Christina, I blog at A Few Scraps. Brenda asked me to contribute a new idea I posted on my blog over here:
I have a collection of skinny strips of leftover batting, and I know I am not alone. At about 2 inches wide they are too small individually for any little quilted project. I know I don't have the patience to piece them together to make a larger piece, though I happily do that with bigger pieces to get enough for a quilt top.
But now I have it. I know what to do. I take little fabric scraps and sew-and-flip piece them onto my batting strips!
And then when I have several strips...
I piece those together with one-inch wide strips of fabric.
(here's what that looks like from the back)
And then I have a quilted panel that I could use for pillows or whatnot. I made a table topper.
I hope some of you like this idea for putting your batting scraps to good use!
