Recycle Mattress Cover for Quilt Filling

When making quilts, I use old (clean) mattress covers for the fill. Cut to the size that you need.

Great idea. I have never used a mattress pad but my first quilt I ever made, I was a young girl of 17, I used an old Chenille bedspread in it. The top was simple double knit squares and I tacked it. I was filling my hope chest. 30+ years later my daughter used it so much the back disintegrated. I clipped the ties and will be putting a new back on it this winter, she wants it back. Maybe I can get that done and surprise her. Thanks for reminding me! :-)

I take old mattress pads and use them for batting between two old flannel sheets for the homeless shelter in the winter. I work on them in the summer to have ready for the winter. They are really warm and light weight and most appreciated.

I made quilts for wedding presents for my grandchildren out of the acrylic fabric you find in old muu muus. Since I am pretty lazy the quilt blocks are usually 10" squares. The backing is a polar fleece blanket. There is no middle as that would make it too heavy to use unless you live in the Arctic Circle.

It is getting harder to find the muu muus at the thrift stores because that kind of fabric is not produced any more. It was very popular about 40 years ago when I lived in Hawaii. Apparently polyester or rayon is now the fabric of choice.
