It's not that I am cheap...I just don't like going to the store, especially with a cranky baby in tow. Maybe I am the cranky one? Well if you need a larger piece of batting then what you currently have in your scrap bag, you can join up some piece and pretend like nothing ever happened!
So here, I made us a tutorial to show how it's done, like that, although it almost midnight and I'm hurting all over from a regular day of motherhood:

Always wondered how i'd go about doing this. I use the scraps on smaller projects, but always think I need to piece bigger pieces for bigger small projects. Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful tutorial. Can I tell you how much scrap batting I have laying around that I can't part with, but isn't big enough for most projects? This is great, thanks!

I do this,too! I always have irregular pieces left over from cutting into queen/king size rolls of batting. (that's usually the size I buy, no matter what I am making) The only way to get any use out of them is to piece them. Great photo tutorial!

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one to do this! :-)
