Most people don't take the time to think outside the box. Back in the day before there were fabric stores and the internet people used what they could get their hands on to create a blanket or quilt including feedsacks, saddle material, barn hay. Everything had a use, nothing was wasted. We have the luxury of living in a time when creativity can drive the train, not necessity. Great post!!!!

I recommend not piecing these on a straight line. Rather, I would do a wavy line, but with the zig zag stitch and butted together as you describe. I find there is less movement this way. And I wouldn't risk a pieced batt on a quilt that is likely to get washed a lot (like a baby quilt). I have pieced together batting for use. I recommend not piecing these on a straight line.
