Whoever posted the pictures of the Crazy Quilting is being held personally responsible for this "I'd rather be impaled on rusty farm implements than quilt" non-quilter's new obsession. After seeing those CQ pictures and then doing more web searching and looking I was bitten. I just LOVE Crazy Quilting! Well, I've decided to make some CQ cell phone covers and glasses cases and maybe a cute little evening bag for a gal I know that would use it from all the bits and bobs I've got in my eclectic stash of goodies and all those scraps from weddings and proms and posh sewing and such. They need just a skosh of padding. I tried a layer of toweling.....not satisfactory. I've tried a double layer of flannel.....just isn't right. The 3 different hunks of left over battings I have from "I'm never gonna do that again' quilting projects are too thick or bulky or heavy.
So what can I use to give these just a wee bit of body and cush. I really don't want to buy a whole big bunch of something I'd probably never use up, a scant yard would most likely last me a lifetime. There is no LQS nearby for me. JoAnn's is the only fabric store I can get to and that's a 30+ minute bus ride but it's doable. I'd rather use something I have around but can't think of anything off hand. I do have a few up close and personal, face to face quilter friends that may have some leftovers to donate if I knew what I wanted (and will be laughing their a**es off when they find out what I'm doing) .........suggestions?
I can't believe I'm quilting....and having all kinds of fun! Val
