- How to use materials other than new batting for a quilt - cotton is so resource intensive, even organic cotton, it's worth it to try a few alternatives.

- From the page: "Being creative with your quilt ingredients is part of the history of quilting. Now granted, many of the choices that early quilters made were due to economic constraints. I suspect that if the pioneers had sewing machines and fabric shops readily and affordably available, a lot of them would have taken advantage of those options. However, quilting does have a historical ethic of conservation and re-use. Quilters today manifest this ethic through the obsessive saving of fabric scraps too small for any reasonable project, â€oejust in case.”
So if youâ€re willing to look past batting, there are other earth-friendly alternatives for your quiltâ€s insides. Your linen closet, thrift stores, or donations from other peopleâ€s sewing supplies may provide just what you need."
