I have managed to piece together an 80″ x 88″ batt from my batting scraps. Since this is Hobbs Tuscany 100% cotton (bleached & unbleached) batting I’ve ‘saved’ $18.
As for the Challenge Creep, Out of the Blue is quilted and the binding is attached. I still need to stitch it down, clip miles of thread off the back, label and wash it. But this is not the only ‘creep’ on my challenge. There are at least 6 maybe 7 pillowcases not associated with the quilts to be made and the SBS Brown & Blue Swap quilt got added to the list. I really hope that’s it. My notes indicate that both the binding and the backing are made, but not counted in my stash report. I’ll have to dig it out in the next few days. I need it sooner than the rest of the quilts, but after this one will be shipped off.
Good for you to sew up those batting scraps. Batting is getting pretty expensive around here too. I LOVE Tuscany!
