Rag Quilt – Batting
Posted on: December 2, 2014
After getting all the fabric cut to size, the next step was to cut the batting.
The instructions said to cut the batting into 7in squares.
I have to say, this wasn’t my favorite step at all. My cutting space is limited to the fact that I have a small cutting board. Folding up batting to cut isn’t easy. Batting is bulky and fluffy and just hard to work with on a small space.
I ended up just cutting the full sheet (45in x 60in) in half and cutting it with scissors into manageable strips before I used my ruler and rotary cutter.
It wasn’t easy, but I cut 30 of those 7in squares.
It took me about two nights to do this since it took awhile to figure out how to manage it the first night. Once I figured it out, it went pretty fast.
Next is to assemble the “sandwhiches” and sew them together…
