Bee Square Blog reports a discovery from fall quilt market – a new, environmentally friendly quilt batting. She says,
This year the new green is batting made from recycled plastic bottles. The Quilter’s Dream brand reports that each twin sized batting (93″ x 72″) keeps 13 plastic bottles from entering landfills. This batting will not shrink if washed in cold water, and only 1% in warm water, which was pretty much what I was looking for. I think I have a winner.
You can find out more on the Quilter’s Dream site. If you’ve tried this new product, please be sure to comment and let us know what you think.
