[QUOTE="SRL, post: 214661, member: 701"] I would suggest visiting a few fabric stores because many carry a variety of quilt batting in wide widths. They cost a little more but then you don't have to sew strips together. If you go with a narrower fabric, you need to make sure to add in extra for the seam allowances since you'll have to sew strips of the lining together, plus a few inches of overhang all around the quilt. The overhang is to account for stretching that might occur during pinning and sewing. You would trim off any extra afterwards. [/QUOTE]
